Code requirement
Spend should be tied to eligible people
Training spend should be linked to participant eligibility, programme type, attendance, completion status and the measurement period. Spend without participant evidence is a weak claim.
Siza Consulting insight
Progress indicators improve management action
Track learner status, attendance, assessment, completion and evidence completeness. This helps management act before the claim becomes a year-end problem.
Context, not causation
Use labour-market data carefully
General employment or education statistics may explain the broader skills context, but they do not prove that a B-BBEE Skills Development claim is recognisable.

Measurement note
How to read this insight
The chart uses B-BBEE Commission scorecard-context data. It does not measure learner completion or employment outcomes.
Skills Development monitoring is strongest when it connects money, people, programme progress and evidence in one control view.
