We adopt a comprehensive approach to Skills Development, aimed at preparing individuals to become future entrepreneurs and contributors to the economy. Our learnership programmes combine academic instruction, practical simulations, and hands-on workplace exposure. Strong mentorship and continuous learner support form the foundation of our approach, ensuring learners are well supported throughout their journey to qualification completion.
Our Origins
In 2012, Daniel Gibhard began offering business-to-business solutions focused on B-BBEE legal compliance. He worked closely with organisations to interpret and apply the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice, including the coordination of Skills Development and training through external providers.
By 2014, Daniel recognised a critical gap in the market: many companies were paying excessive costs for training services that failed to deliver on their commitments. In response, he set out to create a reliable and transparent alternative. This initiative led to the formation of Skills Development Corporation (SDC), a specialist organisation dedicated to managing the Skills Development element of B-BBEE with integrity and efficiency.
Where We Are Today
Today, SDC enables businesses to maximise the value of their Skills Development initiatives through effective governance, administration, and regulatory compliance. When properly managed, Skills Development not only ensures compliance but also delivers meaningful growth and strong returns on investment.
Skills Development Corporation has built extensive expertise in the legislative and regulatory requirements of the B-BBEE framework and the Skills Development Act within South Africa. This knowledge allows us to help clients optimise both compliance outcomes and commercial benefits.
SDC functions as a fully integrated, one-stop solution, addressing the key components of the Skills Development portfolio that directly influence a company’s B-BBEE scorecard. Our flexible, client-centred approach focuses on building lasting partnerships through customised, strategic solutions aligned with each organisation’s Skills Development goals.
As an accredited training provider, SDC offers B-BBEE-aligned qualifications and comprehensive Skills Development management services. With campuses in Johannesburg and Cape Town, we provide businesses with an end-to-end platform to implement and support B-BBEE-compliant learnerships and skills programmes for employees, unemployed youth, and persons with disabilities.
In addition, we manage learner recruitment and placement, oversee all legal and administrative requirements, and ensure that our clients remain eligible for relevant tax incentives and grant funding.
