Under its own strategic initiative called Africa1st, Techno Brain plans to introduce a combination of SAP Education student training kits, SAP e-learning programmes, as well as a hybrid classroom instructor-based teaching model across the continent over the next two years.
The first phase will kick off in the third quarter of this year in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, followed by the second phase Malawi, Rwanda and Ethiopia in the fourth quarter.
The third and final phase will commence next year in Zambia and Nigeria.
Pfungwa Serima, chief executive officer, SAP Africa said the company’s partners in Africa played a critical role in helping SAP create a rich talent pool in the continent for the entire SAP ecosystem.
“We see huge business opportunities for our partners in Africa and recognise that their support is key to our ongoing success,” said Serima.
Manoj Shanker, group CEO Techno Brain, said the company’s goals for this project are ambitious.
“As we grow as an organisation, the need for Africa’s skills development grows too. Our mission is clearly aligned with SAP Africa’s goals to create IT skills and employment for the future in Africa,” he said.
With operations in the above-mentioned countries, Techno Brain trains more than 10 000 people a year across eight centres worldwide. — CAJ News.
