What is the MICT SETA three-month skills training course?
The MICT SETA three-month skills training course is a short, full-time programme that teaches high-demand ICT and digital tools to unemployed youth, recent grads, and anyone eager to up-skill. It runs with accredited training centres and matches the goals set out in the National Skills Development Plan.
What’s on deck for 2025? Honestly, this lineup’s kinda stacked:
– Digital literacy—yeah, the basics, but way more important than folks admit.
– Cybersecurity 101, because nobody wants to get hacked by some kid in a basement.
– Cloud computing. If you don’t know what that is yet, it’s time.
– Data analytics and visualization. Basically, making sense of the chaos and turning numbers into stuff people can actually understand.
– Software dev basics. Not everyone’s gotta be a code ninja, but knowing your way around is a power move.
– Graphic design and multimedia—because ugly slides are a crime.
– Network admin. Someone’s gotta keep the WiFi working, right?
– Digital marketing. Otherwise, who’s seeing your stuff? Nobody, that’s who.
Each course is cooked up to actually matter in the real world, not just look good on a resume. You’ll walk away with skills you can actually use, not just buzzwords to sprinkle around in meetings.
