The partnership was established in 2011 between the higher education institution and the ICT company, and is accessible to all Gijima employees, says Gijima interim CEO Eileen Wilton.
“The programme is targeted at any Gijima employee who does not have a BCom degree but has the necessary experience,” she explains.
To qualify for the programme, the university conducts assessments on each applicant. Gijima covers all academic costs for students based in Cape Town who are able to attend lectures at UWC, says Wilton. Gijima employees not based in the Western Cape can attend classes at the company’s head office, in Samrand, Johannesburg.
James Njenga, head of the Department of Information Systems at UWC, adds, the department is proud to have been involved with Gijima in this unique programme.
“Not only did the programme improve marketability of the individuals concerned, it also empowered these employees to contribute to the future competitiveness of Gijima and indeed the country,” says Njenga. The programme is the first of its kind for UWC and Gijima, according to Wilton, with both looking forward to similar programmes in the future.
