ICT Academy addresses skills shortage

The creation of a pool
of employable graduates
with relevant ICT skills
and competencies
should be at the top of
the corporate agenda,
according to Gert
Schoonbee, managing
director of T-Systems
South Africa.
“Since 2003,
T-Systems SA has
continually invested
in the ICT Academy, a
training facility that was
established to address
the skills shortage within
the ICT industry in the
country,” he said.
Registered with
the ISETT SETA and
aligned with government
legislation, the academy
to date has produced more
than 1502 internationally
certified IT graduates
with a 95% pass rate
and more than 85%
employment rate in
IT-related fields.
