Accreditation, BEE and CSI

Accreditation

The IE Group has a ‘Recorded Provider’ status with the Services SETA enabling skill levys.

BEE

The IE Group is committed to black economic empowerment although we are considered a micro-enterprise. In terms of our long term growth and values as an organisation, we believe it is essential to develop a sustainable level of diversity. We are currently in consultation with a potential BEE partner and hope to conclude our negotiations by the end of 2009.

Free coaching service to selected members of the SANDF – (resulted in their winning the global competition in management science and operations research “The Optimum Project” in Washington in 1997).

Our partnership with ORT South Africa
We call on our clients to support our initiative to collect suits that would otherwise be thrown away to donate to individuals from impoverished communities to find gainful employment. These underprivileged South Africans often have skills and education but are prevented from finding employment as they are unable to afford the attire to create the right impression and to show what they are capable of.
By sending your old suits our way we can ensure someone gets the chance to find employment, support their families and gain increased self-esteem.

About ORT
ORT South Africa focuses on lifelong learning. It is a development organisation committed to addressing skills shortage through educating and supporting individuals and communities in an accountable, value-added way. In our Skills Development Unit, we aim to create individuals and communities with marketable skills through educational programmes that are designed to add real value to the current marketplace. Well over a thousand young people from impoverished communities have been trained in a variety of skills, including life skills, problem solving, conflict management, computer proficiency, presentation techniques, financial knowledge and confidence building.
