Workplace Skills Plans and Annual Training Reports
A Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) is a requirement for any business looking to maintain a good B-BBEE scorecard.
The Workplace Skills Plan aims to outline a company’s skills needs and the various skills development initiatives your
company will implement to address these needs.
It is crucial to note that a WSP must be created and submitted annually before the 30th of April to comply with the
current Skills Development legislation.
Additionally, Annual Training Reports (ATRs) must be submitted detailing your business’s education, training, and
development initiatives and showing progress compared to the last WSP. Failure to submit these reports will result in
no points for Skills Development on the B-BBEE Scorecard.
