AI Fluency for All: The Next Step in Digital Transformation

Why AI Fluency Matters

This partnership builds on an already successful foundation. Through our partnership with Microsoft over the past 5 years, we have trained over 3,000 learners in Cloud Computing, Data Science / Engineering, Cybersecurity, AI, DevOps and Software Development. 

AI is not the future; it is the present. Understanding its impact is no longer optional—it’s essential. Here’s why this initiative is a game-changer:

• Future-Proof Your Career– AI is transforming jobs. Those who understand it will lead, while others risk being left behind.
• Open to Everyone– No prior experience or technical background required.
• Stay Competitive– Gain an in-demand skill set that can accelerate your career or entrepreneurial journey.
• Empowering South Africa’s Innovators– This is more than a course; it’s a movement to create AI-powered leaders, entrepreneurs, and problem-solvers.

As part of Microsoft’s bold mission to train 1 million individuals in AI and digital skills by 2026¹, Deviare has stepped forward with an audacious commitment—to train 250,000 individuals and ensure they have the tools to thrive in the ever-growing tech space.  

Enrol today with our compliments.

The Deviare-Microsoft Partnership

Our collaboration with Microsoft is more than just about skill development; it is a direct response to the youth unemployment crisis, creating pathways to meaningful and sustainable employability. Over the past five years, we have trained thousands of learners in Cloud Computing, Data Science & Engineering, Cybersecurity, AI, DevOps, and Software Development—and now, we aim to scale to hundreds of thousands.

By focusing on grassroots-level initiatives, we have unearthed digital potential in rural and pre-urban communities, equipping young people with the tools they need to build careers, not just find jobs. The impact has been profound:

• Over 90% completion rate across all programmes.
• Many participants securing employment in well-recognized positions across various sectors.
• Others becoming entrepreneurs, leveraging their skills to build pioneering businesses.
• International certifications and practical work experience ensuring that participants are not only skilled but also globally competitive.
  

Luba shares our vision:

“Our goal is a scalable, inclusive, and technology-driven model that equips young South Africans, even in the most underserved areas, with digital skills to thrive in a global economy. To tackle youth unemployment, we must reach those who need it most, ensuring accessibility at minimal expense.

Deviare was built from the ground up with modern digital talent, leveraging digital platforms to train, employ, and empower our own. The majority of our team consists of those we’ve trained—proof that Africa’s digital transformation can and must be driven from within.

By focusing on high-growth digital skills, we foster independence, productivity, and global competitiveness. Speed and adaptability are key—we must start quickly, refine continuously, and scale rapidly while contextualising global best practices to fit our local realities.”

The answer starts today. Your future is made here.
