Introduction
Creating a skills development strategy can feel overwhelming. Where do you even begin? The truth is, without a clear strategy, your training efforts will likely lack direction and measurable impact. Here’s a roadmap to get you started.
Step 1: Conduct a Training Needs Analysis (TNA)
Identify the skills gaps in your organisation. This is the foundation of your strategy.
Step 2: Align to Business Goals
Your L&D initiatives should support your company’s strategic objectives, not operate in isolation.
Step 3: Include Compliance and B-BBEE Requirements
Incorporate mandatory training to meet SDA and B-BBEE scorecard targets.
Step 4: Implement, Monitor, and Evaluate
Execution is key. Track ROI, measure performance, and continuously improve.
Why It Matters
An effective skills development strategy ensures every rand spent on training delivers a return for both the business and the employee.
Our L&D Professional Programme equips you with advanced skills to design and implement strategies like these.
