Skills Development Consulting Services

Skills Development Consulting Services

Afri Training Institute (ATI) is dedicated to delivering business aligned and job-specific skills programmes that support organisations’ business and talent management goals. This means we go beyond providing training to offer expert skills development consulting services.

ATI’s Skills Development Facilitator (SDF) Support Services ensures that your skills development initiatives seamlessly align employee learning with your company’s strategic objectives, while remaining fully compliant with national standards and B-BBEE requirements. We work closely with your team to maximise your B-BBEE Skills Development score, ensure compliance with legislative and sector requirements, build a future-ready workforce equipped for growth and improve productivity and staff retention through targeted upskilling.

The Employment Equity Act (EEA) requires businesses with more than 50 employees or those exceeding industry-specific thresholds to submit Employment Equity (EE) Reports to the Department of Labour. ATI provides expert guidance and practical solutions to help businesses comply while fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace. From support for submitting documentation to helping your team establish an effective EE forum, ATI helps you streamline the employment equity compliance process.

We empower businesses for economic transformation by helping them navigate the complexities of B-BBEE. Our expert consultants provide clarity on the five elements of the BEE scorecard and offer insights and innovative strategies to help businesses align with the amended codes while integrating B-BBEE into their marketing and growth strategies.

ATI’s tailored recruitment solutions source and match learners with specific programmes that align with their interests and existing skills. We also offer Hosted Learnership solutions, whereby the lead employer funds the learnership programme, while the host employer provides the workplace facility and dedicated mentors to assist and guide learners.

ATI partners with clients to design more inclusive workplaces that support people with disabilities in their organisations. Our comprehensive, managed solution covers recruitment of learners, placement of people with disabilities into organisations and customised programme designs that improve the success rate for long-term learner absorption.

ATI’s Scholarship & Bursary Management services support clients by handling the entire lifecycle of a scholarship or bursary fund. From policy design and application management to fund management, student support and mentorship, ATI helps organisations to manage their skills development funding effectively and reduce the associated administrative burdens.

Case Study:

The SFA Scholarship Academy

The programme aims to identify unemployed young adults and equip them with vital industry skills and knowledge by providing access not only to a number of accredited courses and qualifications, but also to an immersion into the day-to-day business environment. Following successful completion by the candidate, the group companies can actively recruit and champion the cause of any young, promising individuals identified.

ATI provides support to this initiative by managing the scholarship programme and providing the required training, assessment and support for participants to complete the programme.

In line with our broader transformation goals, the initiative also supports the inclusion of people with disabilities, recognising their potential, breaking down access barriers, and working toward a workforce that reflects the full diversity of our society.

It is this sense of shared purpose and self-worth that drive us to continue investing in empowering communities to bring about societal change.
