With the shift of data and applications into the Cloud, coupled with the influence of AI, finding and retaining the right technology talent is becoming more difficult and more expensive by the day.
Participation in The Academy of Accelerated Technology Education programme results in access to a pool of Cloud and AI aware, technology skills, both in the short term, in the form of skilled learners, and over the longer term, as your company onboards and grows talent acquired through the programme. The learners coming through the programme are all graduate professionals with proven aptitude for their chosen field, skilled in the latest versions of the tools and applications used in your organisation.
The Programme
The programme is a 12-month learnership, divided into 2 phases. The initial phase (3-months) with The Academy equips learners with the necessary technical knowledge to match your organisations needs. In addition to developing the technical skills required, a work readiness programme prepares the learners for the workplace, ensuring they seamlessly adapt and apply their skills during phase 2 (9-months) within your organisation.
Benefits to your Company
Participation in our programme gives “first right of refusal” of employment of learners that have been mentored in the organisation. From a CSI perspective, this is a unique opportunity to achieve a long-term benefit in the community and culturally shape individuals for your organisation. These learnerships are YES compliant, SETA registered and facilitate the applicable tax rebates under the correct business engagement model.
