    1. Skills Development pillar of the Scorecard:

    • Organisations can count spending on bursaries for Forms 3, 4 and 5 (Grade 10,11 and 12) black learners* (*black is defined as ‘African, Indian or Coloured South African citizens’) towards their target of spending 3.5% of their gross annual payroll on training for black people. There are 6 points available in this section of the Scorecard.
    • Organisations can also count their spending on bursaries for tertiary institutions for Black matriculants  towards their target of spending 2.5% of their gross annual payroll on Bursaries for black Students at Higher Education Institutions.
