Finding suitable employment is a pressing issue for graduates and people losing jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The VIT is founded by entrepreneurs with a proven track record in the technology sector across various countries. The team is actively involved in the deployment of projects that connect schools to the internet and support telecoms companies with the expansion and modernisation of their networks.
Beyond the development and delivery of e-learning solutions, The VIT is well positioned to use its industry networks and knowledge of up-coming projects to assist its graduates to secure internships and long term employment opportunities.
The founders of The VIT have trained over 60 young people in the past 9 years. The vast majority of these young people came from marginalised communities.
Today they are gainfully employed and enjoy thriving careers across the tech industry. Testimonials from some of them are shown below;
