Grow Your Business Through Strategic Learnerships
Transform Your Workforce & Optimise Your Bottom Line
In today’s competitive landscape, building a skilled, agile workforce isn’t just an HR objective—it’s a core business strategy. Hosting or sponsoring a learnership program allows your organization to cultivate top-tier talent while unlocking substantial financial, tax, and compliance benefits.
Whether you want to upskill your existing staff or source fresh talent to build a sustainable recruitment pipeline, our accredited learnership solutions make the entire process seamless, compliant, and highly rewarding.
Why Invest in Learnerships? The Business Benefits
Implementing a structured learnership program offers a powerful return on investment. Here is how hosting a learnership drives value for your business:
Significant Tax Incentives (SARS Section 12H)
The South African government heavily rewards businesses that invest in skills development. Under Section 12H of the Income Tax Act, your business can claim significant tax deductions for every learner you take through a registered program:
-
Commencement Allowance: A tax deduction claimed when the learnership begins.
-
Completion Allowance: An additional tax deduction claimed upon successful completion of the qualification.
-
Increased Allowances: Higher deductions are available for registering learners with disabilities, maximizing your financial recovery.
Maximize Your B-BBEE Scorecard
Skills Development is a priority element on the B-BBEE Scorecard. Failing to meet the sub-minimum targets can result in your overall B-BBEE level dropping. By hosting learnerships, you can:
-
Earn critical points under the Skills Development element.
-
Claim points for both the formal training costs and the stipends paid to unemployed learners.
-
Gain bonus points if you successfully absorb unemployed learners into permanent roles at the end of the program.
Reclaim SETA Grants
As a registered Skills Development Levy (SDL) payer, your business is eligible to recover a portion of your levy through your Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA):
-
Mandatory Grants: Reclaim up to 20% of your paid SDL by submitting your Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) and Annual Training Report (ATR).
-
Discretionary Grants: Access additional funding explicitly allocated by SETAs to cover tuition fees and learner stipends for scarce and critical skills.
Build a Custom-Trained Talent Pipeline
Avoid the high costs and risks of traditional recruitment. Learnerships allow you to vet, mentor, and shape potential employees over a 12-month period. By the time they graduate, they are fully adapted to your company culture, systems, and operational standards.
