Bridging the Digital Divide:
The Power of the Digital Skills Factory
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the gap between the demand for skilled digital professionals and the supply of qualified candidates is widening. The Expleo Digital Skills Factory (DSF) in partnership with the YES 4Youth Employment Service in South Africa, is at the forefront of addressing this critical skills shortage, offering a unique, multi-week boot camp-styled learning and development programme designed to produce the next generation of digital leaders. This innovative programme is not just about imparting technical skills; it’s about creating well-rounded professionals equipped to thrive in today’s dynamic digital environment.
Our DSF programme stands out with its three-pillar model focusing on Digital, Professional, and Personal development. This holistic approach ensures that programme graduates are not only technically proficient but also possess the soft skills, personal strengths, and business acumen to excel in the professional world.
Digital Pillar:
Covering a broad spectrum of digital domains, including Software Engineering, DevOps, Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Automation and more, this pillar equips those with the technical prowess needed to navigate the complexities of the digital world. Through facilitated online and classroom-based training, curated content from leading platforms like Udemy, and practical, simulated projects, learners receive hands-on training that’s directly applicable to real-world challenges in their respective fields of expertise.
Professional Pillar:
Beyond technical skills, the professional pillar focuses on the art of great consulting, communication, work ethic, problem solving, critical thinking and the ability to execute reliably. With content curated from top-tier resources and weekly interactive sessions hosted by senior stakeholders within Expleo, attendees will learn what it means to be a high-performing ‘Game-Changer’ in the workplace.
Personal Pillar:
Recognising the importance of personal development, this pillar helps learners identify their strengths and harness their skills, fostering a positive culture and leveraging potential. Through various assessments and personalised feedback, participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery and continuous personal development, paving the way for long-term success.
The Expleo DSF programme doesn’t just teach; it transforms. Individuals are assessed across all three pillars, ensuring a comprehensive development experience that readies them for optimal performance. This multifaceted approach to learning creates professionals who are not only experts in their field but who also bring energy, positivity, and a solutions-focused mindset to the workplace.
