Skills Silly Season is once again upon us, team…..meaning that all companies interested in applying for their Mandatory Grants need to ensure their WSP submission is in before the end of April.
This will enable 20% of your annual SDL to be awarded, along with the opportunity to apply for Discretionary Grant funding when the various funding windows open.
Did you know that Thrive was built on claiming WSP grants for companies? We’re currently the SDF for large multi-nationals (Coca-Cola, Telkom, Interwaste Group) along with teeny-tiny small businesses as well.
Yours in skills,
Andrea
