CASE STUDIES
Mining Industry
Skills Assessments are a “Must Have” to
prevent accidents, lawsuits, compensation
claims, and to comply with all Health and
Safety regulations.
We were approached by a mining company to
identify whether they had all their regulatory
health and safety requirements in place and
documented for the right people in the right
places. In this way, they could ensure that all
employees in their different roles and positions
had been trained properly according to the
regulations. This put them proactively in a
position to react to potential damage claims and
lowered substantially associated expenses.
Wholesale & Retail
Complexity of operations, high number
of staff to properly introduce a new,
costly Learning Management System
A very innovative company urgently needed
to implement a Learning Management
System (LMS). They had spent millions on it
and wanted to get it working. In order to
prepopulate their system correctly they had
to do a skills audit. They were offered a
discretionary grant by SETA to do this,
however, under the condition to do it in 2
weeks. Nobody could do it. We did it in
high quality within 2 weeks and they had a
perfect starting point by knowing exactly
what their current skill sets were. They
could start their LMS in time at 100%
accuracy and efficiency.

CASE STUDIES
Transportation
Security, Safety, to verify highly specialized
roles of Technicians, Crews; incl. verification
of expiration of trainings, licenses and
permits.
We were asked by an airline who wanted to
minimize the risk of any accidents or even
deaths due to inadequately skilled staff, missing
or expired licenses or permits from pilots, cabin
crews to the technical maintenance personal.
We did a Skills Gap Analysis with crucial
recommendations regarding how to address
existing gaps in skills, proper documentation and
training within 3 weeks. Additionally, we
assigned priorities to follow up actions.
Manufacturing
Health and Safety, to keep accreditation
and be able to continue manufacturing.
A large manufacturing organization was
about to lose their accreditation. They were
forced to do skills audits; the deadline was
imminent. They were quoted to do the skills
audit for ZAR3.6M for 600 people over 8
months. Still, they only had 1 month. We
delivered everything complete within 3
weeks. They could keep their accreditation
and continue to manufacture.

compilation of a realistic Training Needs Analysis which was easily to converted into our Workplace
Skills Plan as required by the W&R Seta.
