South Africa, like many other countries, is desperate for skills. Good, solid, technical skills – together with a get-up-and-go attitude – and the desire to work for a world-class organization that is leading the way!
In addition, we have made a commitment in South Africa that we need to transform our organization and develop and empower Black individuals who historically have not had the opportunity to participate in the global economy.
It is through this investment in our country's people that we contribute to the development of a nation capable of competing on the global stage.
This makes for an exciting recipe! We have:
- Plenty of young and talented individuals who are eager to get stuck in and learn.
- Formal, recognized qualifications that form the basis for further development.
- A huge big global organization – Oracle – that is committed to developing these graduates and giving them an opportunity that is out of this world!
Mix the above ‘ingredients’ together
Tackle and remove potential “lumps & bumps” along the way as we learn and grow together
Nurture and care for each other in a warm but tough environment
What have we achieved?
In most cases, the outcome is an awesome bunch of new talent that is well equipped to face the IT world. Where we have the opportunity and suitable headcount available to employ these graduates at Oracle we snap them up – alternatively our business partners and customers are always eager to recruit Oracle graduates into their organizations!
These individuals go through real-life work place experience whilst at Oracle. In some cases they get to travel internationally. The excitement and buzz gets into their system and their blood becomes truly RED! Oracle RED!
This is valuable talent and expertise to have in our eco-system and it’s an exciting program to be a part of not only as a graduate but as an Oracle employee too!
