The University of South Africa’s (UNISA’s) College of Education Centre for Continuing Education and Training has partnered with digital skills development firm Deviare to upskill students and professionals through various short learning programmes and bootcamps.
Founded by Baxolile Mabinya and Lubabalo Dyantyi, Johannesburg-based Deviare helps organisations to build capability for digital transformation, through targeted advisory services, digital skills training and technology solutions.
UNISA re-established the Centre for Continuing Education and Training in 2010, with the aim to become the first-choice innovative centre for teacher in-service training in the country.
Over the past five years, the centre has committed itself to providing quality classroom and community-based education and training programmes – some of which are client-tailored training programmes and courses, that promote collaboration and networking among teachers, communities, national and provincial education departments, businesses, interested parties as well as other stakeholders.
The first offering from the partnership comes in the form of the built-for-purpose Online Digital Pedagogy course. This programme is made up of two learning paths: a short learning programme and workshop-style bootcamps.

The second offering – bootcamps in data engineering and cyber security − will each run for two months at a time.
The programmes will be offered online, through self-paced and instructor-led training, with real industry-based assessments, according to Deviare.
