Historical background

Anthronix Business Consultants is a newly registered company with ownership that is 100% black and HDI status. Anthronix Business Consultants has been in existence for 9 years of outstanding track record.

Training & Development Context

With the implementation of the 2nd phase of National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) it has become imperative that South Africa’s greatest asset is its people. Continuation of developing skills as a key to unlocking our potential, with globalisation on the one extreme and the need for social development on the other, Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) remain part of our focus.

It is widely agreed that South Africa is not yet equipped with the skills it needs for economic growth, employment creation and social development. Hence, the Skills Development Act and Skills Development Levies Act were passed in 1998 and 1999 respectively to support NSDS. Anthronix is committed to contributing actively to the NSDS as a credible and capable provider of Continuous Professional Training and Development services.

Skills development is as much about building the capacity of people to engage in decisions as responsible and economically active individuals in society as to execute the roles and functions that they are assigned to perform. In the workplace the decisions are about productivity, the organisation of work and technology. In new and small enterprises they are about entrepreneurship, sustainability and growth and in communities they are about focus, pace and trade-off linked to local economic development.

It is with this in mind that Anthronix has developed a solution-driven product offering which is continuously improved and aligned to specific client needs. We deal with people – the single most valuable and success-determining resource any organisation can have. Hence at Anthronix we regard learning as a lifelong process. Communities and workplaces are changing continuously. If individuals are to shape these changes and take advantage of them to improve the quality of their lives and the organisations they work for, they need to upgrade and improve their skills continuously. Technological developments and dramatic changes in the accessibility of information have led to a demand for compatible skills.

In order to meet our customer satisfaction – our role is work with them as a strategic partner in training and development needs analysis. We believe that an organisation’s training must be linked to the customers’ business performance in order for it to achieve its goals through improvement of human performance and enabling organisations to prospects of higher sales, growth and greater profitability.

In conclusion, Anthronix is much more than a service provider because it offers a ‘total solution’ to both the organisation and the individual needs.

Black Empowerment

Anthronix is 100 % black owned Black Empowerment Organisation that promotes equal opportunity and fair treatment for all those who work for our organisation in order to achieve a diverse workforce broadly representative of the people of all colour.

Black economic empowerment (BEE) is an integral part of South Africa’s transformation process. It offers tremendous opportunities for both local and international entrepreneurs, since its aims are to develop both the supply and demand side of the SA economy to its full potential.

Joint Ventures

Anthronix Business Consultants has no Joint Venture agreements. We want to form strategic alliances where we are able to identify opportunities based on professional products and services availability.

To this end Anthronix Business Consultants is continually seeking to develop and advance new opportunities within organisations and investor bodies that will provide both equity and capacity building to meet the Broad-based BEE opportunities inherent in this country.
