Skills Development Services
Skills programmes that are funded, compliant and delivered
KDT Holdings plans, coordinates and quality-assures skills development interventions — from a single learnership cohort to multi-province occupational programmes.
Introduction
From skills strategy to learners in programmes
Skills development in South Africa runs on frameworks: SETA grant rules, QCTO qualifications, DHET policy and, for school-linked programmes, DBE requirements. KDT Holdings works inside these frameworks daily — so your programme is designed to be fundable, compliant and deliverable from day one.
We support employers, training institutions, SETAs and development programmes across the full skills value chain: analysis, design, funding, coordination, delivery oversight and reporting.
