Who We Are

The Centre for Corporate Skills Development (CCSD) was established in 2017 and is a registered company with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC), South Africa.

CCSD was founded by a multidisciplinary team of accomplished professionals from the corporate, industry, and academic sectors. Drawing on extensive expertise in medicine, engineering, environmental science, administration, and management, the Centre was established to bridge critical skills gaps and promote professional excellence across diverse sectors.

Today, CCSD partners with corporates, government departments, state-owned entities, and non-profit organisations across South Africa and the broader African continent to deliver high-impact learning and development programmes that address critical skills shortages, strengthen organisational performance, and support sustainable socio-economic growth.
