At SSDA, we believe in investing in the training and development of our people, from being inexperienced to masters of their craft. In this industry, it’s all about providing both academic, technical and interpersonal skills training that allows our people to develop their career paths from agent to senior management positions and across different job roles and disciplines within the business.  It’s one of the reasons why we believe in bringing an executive training approach into our learnership programmes to provide our graduates with a holistic and superior SETA-accredited qualification.  Today’s ambitious collections agent is tomorrow’s top Team Leader, Head of Training or Business Development Manager.  

For young people with a National Senior Certificate and the drive to perform and grow, SSDA provides tremendous career opportunities, exposure to international clients and business models, specialised education and training opportunities and the opportunity to write your own pay check every month based on individual performance. It’s an industry where attitude, enthusiasm and a solid service ethic will take you as far, if not further than any university qualification, which for many young South Africans remains hopelessly out of reach.  

We are incredibly proud to have many talented people who started out at the rock face as agents, got promoted to management positions, and have been with the business for many years in successful careers.

We also conduct monthly competitions and a performance rewards programme that’s all about recognising and rewarding top talent. Our colleagues get to engage in our interactive and robust staff forum and every employee has access to continuous learning and training.
