Our internship program offers companies in South Africa a dedicated assistant to assist with their Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) requirements. This internship program is an excellent opportunity for companies to benefit from the expertise of young professionals while supporting the development of future leaders in the industry.
Our incubator is a program or facility that provides support, mentorship, and resources to startup companies. Incubators typically offer office space, access to funding opportunities, business planning assistance, networking events, and connections with potential clients or investors.
Through our digital access initiatives, we strive to bridge the digital divide by providing affordable internet connectivity and access to technology for underserved communities. Our digital innovation programs aim to foster creativity and innovation by providing resources and skills to develop and implement digital solutions to real-world challenges.
At the heart of our mission, our internship program stands as a beacon of empowerment and opportunity, offering companies across South Africa the chance to meet their Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) requirements with a unique approach. Most of our interns are Deaf or HOH, and traditionally face multiple barriers to workforce entry.
By partnering with us and integrating our talented interns, we not only assist businesses in fulfilling their BBBEE obligations but also play a critical role in nurturing the industry’s future leaders and removing workplace barriers. This symbiotic relationship benefits companies by bringing in fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, while interns gain invaluable experience and the opportunity to make a tangible impact in ICT fields.
Parallel to our internship program are our digital empowerment initiatives. Our commitment to bridging the digital divide underscores our efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable digital future. By fostering an environment where innovation flourishes, we aim to empower communities to develop and implement digital solutions that address real-world challenges, paving the way for a future where technology serves as a ladder for all to climb towards greater opportunities.
