From Workplace Skills Planning to Training Implementation

Adam Kok Institute's Skills Development Facilitation (SDF) and Training services help employers move beyond annual WSP and ATR compliance and establish a structured process that connects identified skills gaps with actual employee development and measurable training outcomes.

SDF & Employment Equity Framework

This integrated option combines Standard SDF services with Employment Equity policy and compliance support, including:

  • Development and implementation of Employment Equity policies and procedures aligned with the Employment Equity Act
  • Alignment of EE policies with HR policies, practices and workforce-development processes
  • Review of employment policies and practices to identify barriers to Employment Equity
  • Periodic monitoring and evaluation of EE measures and practices
  • Support in maintaining EE documentation and evidence
  • Preparation of annual Employment Equity compliance reports
  • Integration of EE priorities with workforce analysis, skills-gap identification, WSP, training implementation and ATR

Through this approach, Adam Kok Institute assists employers in moving beyond stand-alone compliance activities towards a coordinated workforce-development framework that supports compliance, transformation, employee development and measurable organisational progress.
