🎓 We are grateful to have welcomed more than 8,000 participants in our 8-week short online courses. Thanks to the team who made this possible: our partner GetSmarter, tutors, contributors, assessors and industry experts who share their invaluable experience with us.

2022 was an exciting year:

🌳 In the summer, we launch the Sustainable Food: Production and Processing course. Watch the webinar to learn more https://www.linkedin.com/video/event/urn:li:ugcPost:6975120838425464832/

🍁 In autumn, we launched the Sustainable Marketing, Media and Creative course. CISL Fellow and Co-convenor of this course, Dr Victoria Hurth, discusses the conflict and opportunity in the relationship between marketing and purpose in her blog: http://ow.ly/Ortz50MatV1

❄️ This winter, we launched the Business and Social Justice: A Force for Social Change course. The first presentation starts next year. Learn more: http://ow.ly/HipX50MatVb

We look forward to leading extraordinary change together in 2023.

By 2025, the spend on digital transformation is projected to reach $2.8 trillion.

And yet, if you ask them today, only 35% of companies say they have met their transformation goals and earned a return on investment.

Part of the problem is definitional.

What does actually mean?

This original survey from GetSmarter analyzes how more than 5,000 global professionals view digital transformation, and what’s standing in their way of success.

It’s a great read: http://ow.ly/NLOh50LTv37

Another one 📚📖📝

I recently completed another professional development course - CopyEditing - with the top ranked University in Africa, University of Cape Town.

It has been an amazing journey, from the day I enrolled with UCT, to the day I completed the programme. Thought this journey, I have acquired a new skill-set in the field of Copyediting, and I will continue to learn and also share the knowledge and skills that I have gained with the people around me.




Thank you University of Cape Town and GetSmarter

Cape Town has a thriving tech ecosystem - home to tech heavyweights such as Naspers, Takealot, Aerobotics, Clickatell, GetSmarter, Yoco, and Sweepsouth, to name a few. The Mother City has been clear about its ambition to remain a tech powerhouse in Africa.

The US Consulate General Cape Town, along with Wesgro and the Western Cape Department of Economic Development had a Trade and Investment Promotion Partnership “site visit day” cantered around Edtech – with a focus on learning more about some of the initiatives taking place in the Western Cape.

This site visit included a visit to Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT)'s engineering faculty, which hosted a meeting with Cisco Networking Academy as well as students who are in their current cohort. CISCO has trained more than 190 students and has a 96% success rate in placing their trainees.

The team also had meetings with several Edtech start-ups and scale-ups, including GetSmarter, a Cape Town-founded business that was acquired by 2U in 2017 and employs 300 people in South Africa (the bulk of which are in Cape Town). The team also met up with Construct Education, a company that helps leading universities deliver impactful and innovative educational experiences that attract, engage, and retain their students. They then went on to meet with Trackosaurus, a start-up that has created assessments for classrooms that are game based as well as Injini, an NPC which not only supports Edtech businesses across the continent but will also be the official host of the first Africa Edtech Week, which takes place from the 24th till the 28th of November 2022.

This site visit is significant given the fact that Cape Town is the biggest hub of Edtech in South Africa - with 22 companies operating here. The space provides for 1 382 jobs which is an average of 32 jobs per start-up.
