Few IT students are exposed to work while doing their studies and when they get opportunity of working, they don’t always deliver what is expected from them. To promote ICT Skills Development in South Africa, we are running a few projects that will develop ICT skills of students, create professionalism and instill more confidence in their ability to compete in the global marketplace. The project consists of students working on the development of websites and portals. This will allow them to learn the whole environment of website management as well as online marketing with an ephasis on Search Engine Optimization. They will learn about Open Source tools such as Mambo, Joomla, Dolphin and many more. Students will use Open Source languages and databases such as php and mysql. We will give them options to join the Open Source communities such as Open Tuesday. This will facilitate skills transfer and promote their economic viability. This project provides them with an opportunity for practical exposure and at the same time it provides an income generation opportunity that goes a long way in assisting them with tuition, books, and other financial needs. |
