A STRANGE TIME INDEED!

Glimmers of the ordinary, winds of change, second waves, and the stupid mask. Zoom fatigue, a worrisome cough, and the quiet Sandton 5 pm streets.

Elbow greetings, a dozen delivery scooters, and curfews to keep us at home.

It’s a weird and wonderful world, Thrive Tribe!

During Lockdown Level 1 our minister has given the green light and training across the country is going (safely) full-steam ahead. Our skills gap is ever-present, BEE skills development targets still need to be met and it’s time to get back to work!

At Thrive we understand first-hand how hard this year has been and to do our bit to help to get providers back on track, we’re extending our successful Services Seta accreditation special through the month of November!

That’s a substantial 25% discount on all Services Seta accreditation projects started in November with the intention of submitting to Seta before the end of November. Same professional, compliant, and complete service you’ve come to know and trust at Thrive – just 25% off!

Not only that, but we’ve also chatted with our trusted training materials partners – GemTrain – and they are also offering a 25% discount on all Services Seta off-the-shelf materials used for this purpose.

Glimmers of hope, indeed! Literally, hundreds of small and large training providers across the country turn to us for help – isn’t it time you did too?

Yours in skills,

Andrea
