The two companies share similar goals, and a similar process of bringing young South Africans into the digital economy. The partnership between Xebia and Sisekelo Institute of Business and Technology is aimed at bringing skill development programs to the market, empowering the youth with digital skills, and providing the best in expert opinions.

Xebia Academy, the learning arm of Xebia, helps organizations to transform their software delivery and application lifecycle management (ALM) practices.

Sisekelo Institute of Business and Technology is a South African company that has a high understanding of the digital market and needs of the country’s shortfall in tech talent. The business consulting offers advisory and practical technology solutions. They produce a wide range of high quality and relevant programmes in business and technology, while assisting individuals and organizations to achieve sustainable improved performance through an integrated approach to consulting, research and training.

“Becoming an expert in a field is a journey that requires knowledge-gathering, learning from others, and experiencing in practice. That’s why we developed Training Courses, Learning Journeys, and Upskill Programs that will kick-start and revolutionize the South African tech sector,” says Sabelo Myeni, founder of Sisekelo.

Brijesh Kohli, Vice President & Head of Academy, Xebia “According to PwC’s survey in South Africa, employees in organizations need to enhance technology skills and knowledge in automation, programming and coding, modelling and data analysis. This presents a huge opportunity for aspiring techies to be able to fill in the requirements with an upskilled offering. We are happy to partner with Sisekelo to play a vital role in enabling the young breed of techies in the region with the right knowledge and learning with our courses.”

The two companies are committed to bringing out new solutions that will enable business growth by empowering individuals with digital skills. The partnership will also bridge the gap between Corporates and digitally skilled talent, who can drive their businesses forward into the future.
