Are Your Skills Development and Training Plans Effective In A Post-COVID-19 Era?

Exploring effective skills development solutions to build up your human capital

Are you thinking about innovative skills development that are not only effective but will improve your BEE scorecard post-COVID-19?

The various lockdown levels over the last two years have resulted in interrupted learning, with a significant number of educational institutions struggling to facilitate consistent education and training throughout the period. 

Effective skills development and training is still difficult to attain and challenges include: 

• Employees - in sectors where face-to-face/practical learning is key, it has been particularly challenging to facilitate training and up-skilling of employees.
• Learnerships - it has been a challenge to onboard new learners and facilitate the experiential learning component that makes up a significant component of the Learnership programme. 
• Training service providers - while some managed to successfully pivot onto online platforms of learning, corporates report experiencing difficulties in finding training providers that deliver effective and accredited virtual skills development solutions.

What your BEE expert says:

Transcend spent the last two years addressing these challenges for our clients. In order to ensure long term recovery from the pandemic it is important now to invest in youth employment and skills development. If your company, as the measured entity is experiencing limited cash flow, training initiatives that are based on salaries will have greater value for money on the BEE skills development scorecard.

Solutions include:

• Incorporate all initiatives into the scorecard ensuring that training for on-boarding and re-skilling for off-boarding can be linked to the scorecard
• Train for the future – succession planning and understanding the future needs of the business is key
• Consult to ensure compliance & impact are optimised – engage people who can help you re-think your strategy so that all training activities not only benefit human capital but also your scorecard
