Investing in apprentices and trade training is not only beneficial for developing a skilled workforce but also offers significant financial advantages for companies. By supporting employee training and development, businesses can take advantage of grants, tax incentives, and other financial benefits that reduce training costs and improve overall productivity.
Supporting employee training ensures companies have a pipeline of highly skilled workers. This boosts productivity, reduces errors, and increases overall efficiency, leading to long-term business success.
Companies contributing to the Skills Development Levy (SDL) can claim back a portion of these contributions through SETA Mandatory Grants. This supports the continuous development of employees and apprentices.
With a range of SETA grants, tax breaks like the 12H Tax Incentive, and the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI), companies can significantly lower the cost of training and hiring apprentices while fostering long-term growth and innovation. These benefits not only improve the company’s bottom line but also contribute to the wider economy by developing a more competent and competitive workforce.
SETAs offer discretionary grants to companies that implement training initiatives aligned with sectoral needs. These grants can cover costs associated with learnerships, apprenticeships, and skills programs.
The 12H Tax Incentive allows businesses to claim tax deductions for registered learnership agreements. This includes a tax deduction upon registering a learnership and an additional deduction when the learner successfully completes the program.
The ETI encourages employers to hire young workers by offering a tax incentive for each qualifying employee. This lowers the cost of hiring apprentices or young employees, making it more affordable to grow your workforce.
Investing in apprentices and trade training is not only beneficial for developing a skilled workforce but also offers significant financial advantages for companies.
