IT services management firm 4Sight Holdings has launched an ambitious pilot programme to provide 50 young people in South Africa with niche training in Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies over the period of 18 weeks. The company says that there will be guaranteed employment on certification from the programme. The total cost for this pilot will be close to R10-million ($583,285.89), estimates Tracy Short, COO of 4Sight. “To realise the potential of the 4IR, we desperately need a deep pipeline of talent with the right skills. After the 12 weeks of technical training, 4Sight will be adding six weeks of specialist training related to technologies relevant to the 4IR, as well as integrated workplace readiness training.
