In an era where practical experience has become as valuable as academic qualifications, Mbula Research and Development in Partnership with MICT SETA have announced their Graduate Internship Programme which is a timely and transformative opportunity for graduates across South Africa. This initiative is strategically designed to support young, talented individuals who are eager to launch their careers within the dynamic fields of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
What is the Mbula and MICT SETA Partnership All About?
Mbula Research and Development, a forward-thinking organization committed to digital innovation and economic empowerment, has joined hands with the Media, Information and Communication Technologies Sector Education and Training Authority (MICT SETA) to offer an internship programme that cultivates real-world skills in the ICT sector. This partnership stands as a testament to the importance of public-private collaboration in nurturing the future workforce.
The internship programme focuses on providing structured, on-the-job training that aligns with MICT SETA’s mandate to increase the competence of South Africa’s ICT workforce. Through this initiative, young graduates are equipped not only with technical skills but also with the professional competencies required to thrive in fast-paced work environments.
