Welcome to Pipeline Skills

With the new B-BBEE codes emphasising the importance of Skills Development as one of the core elements and an alternative to the Ownership pillar, submitting a Workplace Skills Plan has become vitally important.

We have over 20 years’ experience dealing with all SETAs. We are proud of our very high success rate in obtaining not only our clients’ mandatory grants but also discretionary and pivotal grants. We are at the cutting edge of our industry and up to date with all developments in skills development. We also have a database of learners and assist companies with the implementation and management of learnerships.

Skills Development

Claim back up to 69.5% of your skills levy

The Skills Development Act aims to develop the skills of the South African workforce and to improve the quality of life of workers and their prospects of work, to improve productivity in the workplace and the competitiveness of employers, and to promote self-employment.

Skills Development Levies are imposed to encourage learning and development in South Africa and are determined by an employer’s salary bill. The funds are used to develop and improve the skills of employees.

1%

Skills levy payable by law by companies with a payroll that exceeds R500 000.

Of the amount paid can be claimed back, provided you submit a Workplace Skills Plan and Pivotal Plan to your SETA proving that you train your employees.

Employment Equity

Building a diverse workforce

The aim of Employment Equity is:

  • To promote equal opportunities and fair treatment for all in the workplace by eliminating unfair discrimination; and
  • To implement Affirmative Action (AA) measures to redress the disadvantages in employment experienced in the past by members of designated groups.

Since 1 January 2025, employers with 50 or more employees are designated employers and need to comply with the Employment Equity Act, including the new sector-specific numerical targets.

Fines of up to R2.7m

are imposed by the Department of Employment and Labour for non-compliance with the Employment Equity Act.

Our services include

  • Compiling and submission of the EEA2 and EEA4
  • Development of your Employment Equity plan
  • Assistance with establishing your EE forum
