Having frequent training programmes will also establish regular re-evaluation \u2013 of employees, skills, and processes. Training and development will also influence company culture by instilling an emphasis on planning.<\/span><\/p>\n Training and development can prompt company analysis and planning; it requires employers to review existing talent and evaluate growth and development opportunities internally, rather than via recruitment.\u00a0Assessing the current skills and abilities within the team will enable managers to strategically plan targeted development programmes that consider any potential skills gap.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_top_bottom_link_1=”true” padding_top_bottom_link_2=”true” padding_left_right_link_1=”true” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#ffffff” custom_margin=”|411px||auto||” custom_padding=”0|0px|0||true|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”top” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_vertical=”30px” box_shadow_blur=”65px” box_shadow_spread=”-30px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.35)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Rubik|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_line_height=”1.4em” header_4_font=”Rubik||||||||” header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_letter_spacing=”3px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” background_color=”#000000″ custom_margin=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/academy.capelab.co.za\/?page_id=92″ button_text=”ALL COURSES” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”19px” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_bg_color=”#FFF347″ button_border_width=”4px” button_border_radius=”0px” button_letter_spacing=”4px” button_font=”Rubik|700||on|||||” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ custom_margin=”||-1px|||” custom_padding=”15px|449px|15px|449px|true|true” button_text_color_hover=”#ffffff” button_border_color_hover=”#2a2a2a” button_bg_color_hover=”#2a2a2a” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_color__hover=”#2a2a2a” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#2a2a2a” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Skills Development Framework is guided by the fact that the South African workforce, in this case all employees within the education training and development sector, need relevant and competitive skills. These are required in order for them to develop as individuals, to add value to the performance of the organisation, and for them to contribute meaningfully to the development of the South African economy. The following policies and legislative frameworks are in place to help ensure that these goals are realised:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#ffffff” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Below are some simple steps you can follow when developing your WSP. Progression is able to assist employers with their WSP & ATR submissions.<\/span><\/p>\n The first step in developing your WSP is to identify the skills that your workforce already has. Conducting a Skills Audit is the most effective way to do this. The main objective in conducting a skills audit is to identify the skills and knowledge that the organisation currently has, as well as those which it lacks.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2022 To identify the skills and knowledge that the organisation:<\/span> \u2022 Identify and investigate the current competencies of each employee against pre-defined skill sets required to fulfil a specific role\/function.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2022 Improved skills and knowledge.<\/span> Once you have identified the skills that are present within the workforce, it becomes much easier to carry out the second step \u2013 identifying the skills that are missing and need to be developed. What skills are needed to achieve the strategic objectives of the organisation but are not present in the current workforce? These are the skills that need to be developed. Once again, a Skills Audit is a useful tool in identifying these gaps. Understanding where the gaps lie is an important step to any planning process and will pave the way forward for step 3.<\/span><\/p>\n There are various ways to achieve this, including, but not limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2022 Learnerships<\/span> Other aspects to consider when identifying the best way to develop the skills required include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2022 What is the cost of the training?<\/span> The ATR accompanies the WSP and is submitted along with the WSP. As stated above, the ATR is intended to show your progress against your last WSP. The report reflects the education, training and development that were implemented in the previous year. Your ATR will assist you in identifying the success\/ failure of your previous efforts, thus allowing you to identify areas which you can improve on in order to remain effective and competitive. Records of all education, training and development activities should be available to confirm the information given in the report.<\/span><\/p>\nSkills Development<\/h2>\n
