    Samsung’s Secret to Creating a Tech Talent Pipeline: Turning Students into Job-Ready Rockstars

    In a shocking turn of events, 18 young rebels have emerged from the shadows, armed with software skills and ready to take on the local ICT job market. These fearless graduates are the latest cohort to emerge from Samsung SA’s Advance Industry Experience programme, a partnership with Tshimologong Digital Precinct that’s been shaking things up since 2020.

    The Real Deal: Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Industry

    For too long, ICT graduates have been stuck in a cycle of unemployment, forced to wait years for the industry to acknowledge their skills. But Samsung SA is on a mission to disrupt this status quo, providing young minds with the hands-on experience they need to thrive. By focusing on technical skills, real-world projects, and professional mentorship, this programme is changing the game.

    The Numbers Don’t Lie: 100% Absorption Rate

    Since its inception, the programme has seen an astonishing 35 graduates secure formal employment, with 100% absorption rate. And the latest cohort is no exception. Six of the 18 graduates have already landed jobs, while the remaining 12 are undergoing interviews with prospective employers.

    The Verdict: Samsung’s Programme is the Real MVP

    Phamela Makhubele, a fourth cohort student, credits the programme with giving her invaluable skills, including communication and teamwork. "Gaining practical work experience is crucial for graduates," she says. "This programme gave me the chance to collaborate closely with mentors and seasoned developers."

    The Future is Bright: Samsung’s Commitment to Fostering Job Creation

    Tshimologong CEO Mark Harris sums it up: "We are proud to contribute to reducing unemployment and fostering job creation. We wish our graduates the best in their future careers and hope they maintain a strong connection with Tshimologong." With Samsung SA’s commitment to innovation and job creation, the future is looking bright for these young tech rebels.
