Workplace Skills Plan

LearnMe specialises in the development and implementation of Workplace Skills Plans for your business. How can we help you today?

Do you pay skills development levies? Do you apply for grants to get the money back and train your employees? How can your company benefit from this?

The Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) and the Annual Training Report (ATR) are two of the fundamental parts to obtaining grants from your SETA to use for training employees. The WSP is a plan that documents the skills needs in your business and this plan will describe all the initiatives you are planning to undertake to fulfill those skills needs. The Workplace Skills Plan is submitted annually in the first quarter by the 30th of April.

LearnMe will take the hassle off your busy HR departments hands and GET YOUR MONEY BACK for your levies paid.
