Business Skills for South Africa

In 2011, BSSA did not escape the challenges faced by the South African economy in the aftermath of the worldwide recession. The network of accredited trainers through which BSSA delievers many of its larger programmes has shrunk, and a number of larger private sector funders of training have restructured or refocused their enterprise development programmes.

BSSA was again contracted to train the business advisers and information officers of the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda). In October and November 2011, 15 learners completed two of BSSA’s PROCESS programme modules – technical analysis and financial analysis.
