ANNUAL SUBMISSIONS | WORKPLACE SKILLS PLANS & ANNUAL TRAINING REPORTS


Organizations must submit their Workplace Skills Plans (WSPs) and Annual Training Reports (ATRs) by April 30, 2024, to earn points under the Skills Development element of the B-BBEE scorecard. Failure to submit these reports can result in the Discounting Principle being applied, negatively impacting the overall B-BBEE score. The information in the WSP and ATR must align with data provided to the B-BBEE Rating Agency during verification.

For most SETAs, the deadline for submitting Workplace Skills Plans (WSPs) and Annual Training Reports (ATRs) is 30th April 2024. Where organisations must submit these reports to their relevant SETA, they should obtain points under the Skills Development element.


As Skills Development is an identified Priority Element, not submitting an ATR and WSP could trigger the Discounting Principle, which will impact an organisation’s overall score.

The information contained in the WSP and ATR must coincide with the data submitted to an organisation's B-BBEE Rating Agency at the time of their B-BBEE Verification.


Both the WSP and ATR are strategically designed documents that systematically identify any skills gaps, which align with the government's overall Skills Development Strategy. Both intend to track development, plot succession plans, and monitor the overall progress of organisations against set targets.


Skills Development Services are available for any queries or challenges regarding submissions.
