DTI CTCIP Programme
Unveiled at a series of workshops run by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), this programme falls under the umbrella of the Customised Sector Programme and will be administered by the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). There are several requirements for firms looking to access funding through this programme. These include tax clearance certification, bargaining council compliance, and a completed benchmark to act as a baseline and to inform the nature of the support required.
The benchmark has been included as the primary monitoring tool for the duration of the improvement programme. As a diagnostic, management tool, the fact that the data is collected and analysed immediately focuses attention on the right areas. KZN CTC members are in the fortunate position of receiving a comprehensive benchmark assessment as part of their annual membership fee and for many the process is now a familiar one.
Given the necessity of bargaining council compliance in order to access the funds, all manufacturers are strongly encouraged to engage with their local bargaining council representative in order to ensure that they can negotiate access the funds available.The KZN CTC intends to use the IDC funds to grow the activities and increase support to its members in line with the areas identified through the 2008 Executive strategy sessions and 2009 Imbizo. We will therefore be increasing communications on this matter in order to ensure as many members as possible are able to participate.
