The B-BBEE Opportunity
Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) was launched by the South African Government to address the ongoing lack of meaningful black economic participation. The Revised B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice and the Generic Scorecard are now heavily weighted towards investment in skills development.
This creates an unprecedented opportunity for employers to contribute more towards skills development, job creation, and permanent employment—while achieving maximum scorecard points.
Our purpose
Tiso Skills Fund (Pty) Ltd was established to complement the work of the Tiso Foundation Charitable Trust. Our purpose is to build a sustainable organisation that makes a meaningful and lasting contribution towards the socio-economic development of our country.
Mission
To mobilise financial resources towards the development of human capital, primarily for the benefit of historically disadvantaged black South African youth. We are committed to achieving maximum benefits on the skills development scorecard for our clients while creating real, measurable impact in communities.
