From Deviare: Igniting Africa's Digital Revolution
At Deviare, our purpose is clear - to empower Africa's global competitiveness by building digital transformation capability and capacity across the continent. As a leading digital transformation company founded in 2017, we have made it our mission to tackle the complex challenges facing Africa's digital landscape head-on.
The African Digital Landscape: Unlocking Untapped Potential
Africa stands at a critical juncture in its digital transformation journey. While the continent grapples with persistent barriers such as unmet skills demands, lack of accessible infrastructure, and high youth unemployment, we see immense potential in Africa's young, tech-savvy population and rapidly growing digital economy. Addressing these challenges through scalable, community-driven initiatives is essential for unlocking Africa's digital future.
Deviare's Innovative Approach: The Bridge-to-Work Program
At Deviare, we have developed a holistic "Bridge-to-Work" program to tackle these complex challenges and empower underserved youth across South Africa with in-demand 4IR skills, entrepreneurial opportunities, and pathways to meaningful employment. This integrated, ecosystem-driven approach is designed to ignite Africa's digital revolution.
- Recruitment and Onboarding: Identifying Untapped Talent
Our data-driven recruitment platform identifies and onboards unemployed youth from rural and township communities, ensuring diversity and inclusivity. Rigorous aptitude assessments, background checks, and behavioral evaluations allow us to select the right candidates for the program.
- Immersive Digital Skills Training: Unlocking the Digital Economy
Our proprietary learning platform delivers comprehensive training in cutting-edge 4IR skills, including data science, software development, artificial intelligence, and digital marketing. The program's modular, hands-on curriculum is designed to equip participants with the tools they need to thrive in the digital economy.
- Tailored Impact Streams: Empowering Diverse Pathways to Success
Participants are then channeled into one of three impact streams based on their skills, interests, and aspirations: the Global Start-up Stream, the Local SMME Stream, and the Employment Stream. Each stream offers customized pathways to entrepreneurship, small business development, or direct employment.
- Enabling Partner Ecosystem: Fostering Holistic Transformation
Deviare has cultivated a robust partner ecosystem comprising industry leaders, digital skills experts, incubators, and community organizations. This ecosystem provides essential resources, funding, work experience, and market access to ensure the program's long-term sustainability and impact.
Program Outcomes and Impact: Empowering Africa's Digital Future
The Bridge-to-Work program has already achieved remarkable results, empowering over 90 unemployed youth, 60% of whom are female, with in-demand digital skills and pathways to meaningful careers. Participants have launched successful start-ups, established thriving digital SMMEs, and secured employment with leading organizations, driving digital transformation and economic growth in their local communities.
Conclusion: Deviare's Commitment to a Digitally Empowered Africa
Deviare's Bridge-to-Work program represents a pioneering model for catalyzing Africa's digital revolution. By equipping underserved youth with the skills, opportunities, and support they need to thrive in the digital economy, the program is paving the way for a more inclusive, prosperous, and digitally empowered Africa. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, initiatives like the Bridge-to-Work program will be instrumental in unlocking the continent's immense potential.
Research and map industry trends In order to develop a clear picture of the business models and operation transitions influencing industries, trends must be mapped out and understood. This provides clarity on the skills and roles needed to bring digital transformation to each. In the development of our role-based approach, four major global industries were mapped in detail: • Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI). • Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and Retail. • Telecommunications. • Technology and Consulting.
