Digital Skills Audits
Identify Skills Gaps. Make Better Decisions.
Skills Audits – Digitised, Simplified, Smarter.
What Is a Skills Audit?
A Skills Audit is a structured assessment of the skills, knowledge, qualifications, competencies and capabilities within an organisation. It provides a clear picture of what skills your workforce has, where gaps exist and where development is needed, helping organisations make informed decisions about training, talent management, workforce planning and organisational capability.
A Smarter Approach to Skills Auditing
Traditional Skills Audits often rely on manual processes, spreadsheets and extensive administration. Collecting, consolidating and analysing large volumes of employee data can take months and by the time the results are available, the information may already be outdated.
We’ve changed that.
Solutions Connexion has developed an AI-powered Digital Skills Audit solution that combines intelligent algorithms, secure online assessments and powerful data analytics to provide a faster, more accurate and more actionable view of your organisation’s workforce capabilities.
Our digital approach enables you to:
- See exactly where your skills gaps are
- Identify workforce strengths and development opportunities
- Align people, roles, competencies and training
- Turn workforce data into actionable insights
- Reduce the time and resources required to conduct assessments

A Complete View of Workforce Capability
Our skills audit combines qualification verification and competency assessment to deliver a holistic view of your workforce. Together, these assessments deliver a complete, reliable view of workforce capability.
QUALIFICATION ASSESSMENT
This assessment verifies whether employees hold the required qualifications for their specific job titles. It quickly identifies compliance gaps and ensures alignment with organisational and regulatory requirements.
COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT
This assessment evaluates employees’ knowledge, skills and abilities against their job-specific competency profiles. It measures proficiency levels, readiness to perform, and highlights development opportunities across the organisation.
Our 5-Phase Process
Our structured skills audit process ensures that your organisation identifies the right competencies and invests in the most impactful training for your workforce. Here is our 5-phase methodology.
Phase 1: We align the minimum required SAQA qualifications to each job title, creating a clear baseline for compliance and role suitability across the entire organization.
Phase2: We build a tailored Competency Matrix, aligning relevant competencies to each job title. A comprehensive Competency Dictionary defines every competency with clear criteria.
Phase 3: Employee requirements are uploaded to our Skills Audit Portal. Employees then assess themselves against their prescribed job profiles using our intuitive online platform.
Phase 4: All data is securely processed through our proprietary Skills Audit Algorithm and analysed to provide deep organizational insights and identify critical skills gaps.
Phase 5: We conclude with a virtual handover session, presenting your results through clear reports and intuitive dashboards showing exactly where training investment is needed.
