South Africa’s leading Deaf‑owned provider of accredited skills development, workplace inclusion solutions, and Deaf‑led training.
You face regular regulatory challenges every financial year – complying with the
Skills Development Priority Element
We assist with the following
The 0.3% PWD Mandate
The target to spend 0.3% of your leviable payroll on Black people with disabilities is non-negotiable.
Failing this sub-indicator contributes to a total compliance failure.
The Financial Penalty
Failing the Skills Element’s 40% sub-minimum results in an automatic one-level B-BBEE downgrade, costing you millions in lost tenders and commercial revenue
The complexity of implementation often causes PWD initiatives to fail due to high attrition
Your HR team lacks the capacity to provide “reasonable accommodation” (like full-time Sign Language interpreters) required for the Deaf community.
Generic providers cannot guarantee learner success, leading to drop-outs, wasted expenditure, and zero scorecard points.
