CAPACITI and Wipro’s Commitment to Youth Empowerment

CAPACITI and Wipro’s successful partnership is empowering the next generation with knowledge and expertise desperately needed by the ever-evolving tech industry.  One of the many young people that have been empowered through this partnership is Njabulo Lamula.  

CAPACITI, is a leading tech career accelerator that has been challenging the tech industry to reimagine what top tech talent looks like. CAPACITI’s holistic development model not only prepares individuals to thrive in the workplace but allows local businesses to benefit from work-ready talent, trained in the latest technological pathways. This critical time-saving step saves precious transition cost and time, leaving more space for innovation and business development. 

As a division of the UVU Africa Group, CAPACITI is a non-profit that collaborates with visionary partners like Wipro to mobilise and support the country’s underutilised youth.

Njabulo Lamula, is one of the many young people that have been empowered through CAPACITI and Wipro’s successful partnership.

Before he enrolled into Wipro’s Cyber Security programme, Lamula thought it was impossible to join the tech workforce without many years of work experience. However, today he has a successful career in cybersecurity, and is grateful that CAPACITI and Wipro transformed his personal and professional life for the better.  

Lamula benefited from the partnership because he received accredited industry-relevant training that helped him get employed in cybersecurity even though he doesn’t have many years of work experience.  

This is because CAPACITI and Wipro go beyond conventional digital skills training, they also shift perceptions of talent by inspiring and mentoring young people to seize new opportunities in the digital space.  

Together, Wipro and CAPACITI are creating a sustainable impact by bridging the digital skills gap and helping businesses thrive in a rapidly evolving economy.
