JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – INTELLIHUB, an information and communication technology (ICT) services company, has launched a new training division to address South Africa’s growing need for digital skills development and workplace readiness.
Named Intellehub People Solutions (IPS) Training Academy, it is lauded as an independent but strategically aligned subsidiary.
John Molefe is at the helm of IPS Training Academy
He has been tasked with building the academy into “a world-class skills hub, preparing learners and employees to thrive in a fast-changing digital economy.”
“We often see that a system works perfectly, but the people using it don’t have the training or confidence to unlock its full potential,” Molefe said.
“We can deploy the most advanced platforms, but without training, they can’t deliver the impact they were designed for. The People Solutions division of Intellehub was born to close that gap.”
IPS Training Academy will integrate training and upskilling into the end-to-end services already offered by Intellehub
The academy offers skills development programmes for employed and unemployed individuals, with a special focus on youth from previously disadvantaged communities.
These programmes cover a range of ICT and digital skills, from system use to data literacy, cybersecurity and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and the Internet of Things.
IPS has also secured accreditation for several non-ICT programmes, including generic skills like office administration, project management, and even early childhood development.
Molefe said they want to be a catalyst for change and his vision is to grow IPS Training Academy into a fully-fledged, nationally recognised training institution.
“And we’ll do it through collaboration, quality and impact,” he concluded.
