Annual skills development programme expands
immedia's annual Summer School will offer more inclusive technology skills.
REGISTRATIONS are now open for immedia’s annual Summer School resuming in November which, this season, will encompass learning streams aimed at preparing more students and graduates to thrive in South Africa’s emerging digital economy.
The free week-long work exposure programme exists to introduce Durban’s youth to the tech-related skills they will need to get started with their career.
In addition to skills related to the design and development of mobile apps, APIs, websites, IT Support and networking, Summer School will offer participants the opportunity to learn Cloud-related technologies and approaches, as well as additional business-focused streams open to students of commerce, journalism and media studies.
Summer Schoolers who sign up to learn the new Cloud skills offering will benefit from Microsoft’s commitment to learning through their 12-month Microsoft Azure Free Account, or their free Office 365 licensing programme for students – all supported by immedia’s methodology of coaching and mentorship to get started in this new space.

To further stimulate and support emerging entrepreneurs’ awareness of the digital tools and services that drive productivity and innovation in the fields of commerce, journalism and media studies, the programme now offers mentorship in consumer-centric technology areas such as online content creation, social media etiquette, modern workplace tools, and cyber-security awareness.
Summer School is open between 4 November and 28 February 2020, offering a week-long work experience to all students and job-seekers of any age or skill level. For those who cannot attend Summer School at immedia’s Umhlanga headquarters during working hours, bi-monthly Open Nights will be held over the period.
