BEE: Unpacking Skills Development and Bursaries

The BEE Chamber has become South Africa’s largest B-BBEE Practitioner member-based organisation.  They provide information, support, guidance, services, and software to BEE Practitioners who are the employees within a company responsible for managing a company’s B-BBEE Scorecard.

The BEE Chamber compliance specialists will provide SA Chamber delegates with updates on the B-BBEE Legislation and the latest interpretations from the B-BBEE Commission and the DTIC B-BBEE Policy Unit and day to day issues of relevant importance.

There are significant interpretive variances between these two offices with additional variances being applied by accredited B-BBEE Rating Agencies which represents a risk to our members.
The SA Chamber will complement the BEE compliance specialists with business specialists in the Black Empowerment field.

By attending the webinars, you will be kept abreast of the situation enabling you to confidently manage your B-BBEE targets and recognition levels each year.

This webinar topic is applicable to large business with an annual turnover of R50 million and above – these companies are referred to as Generic Companies in the South African B-BBEE Act.

Webinar Discussion Points:

• The Skills Development Scorecard
