Global Computing and Telecoms (GCT) Academy recently marked another triumph with the successful completion of its training and certification programme in Systems Development for 20 young graduates. The GCT Academy equipped them with the knowledge and expertise needed to thrive in the ever-evolving world of ICT.

Over the past six months, the graduates immersed themselves in a rigorous curriculum that covered software development, database management, cyber security essentials and project management fundamentals. Led by seasoned industry experts, they honed their coding skills, collaborated on real-world projects and acquired valuable hands-on experience that will benefit them in their future professional endeavours.

The ICT sector in South Africa has long grappled with a skills shortage. As technology continues to reshape industries, there is an increasing demand for skilled professionals who can design, develop and maintain cutting-edge solutions. GCT Academy recognised this gap and took proactive steps to address it. The GCT Academy's dedication to addressing the issue of youth unemployment in South Africa is deeply rooted in its origin, as GCT was established by young people and still prospers with their technical skills.

By providing this specialised training and certification, the GCT Academy has empowered the graduates to enter the workforce with confidence. In the latest cohort, 15 of the newly certified graduates will join GCT’s ranks, embarking on a mission to create ICT solutions tailored for the public sector. From streamlining government services to enhancing data security, these young professionals will play a pivotal role in shaping South Africa’s digital future.
