The SA BRICS Business Council is seeking talented emerging tech professionals in South Africa for the BRICS Future Skills Challenge.

According to a recent announcement, the next BRICS Future Skills Challenge will focus on South Africa, Brazil, Russia, India, and China’s problems with energy, water, and health.

The course will take place in Johannesburg, South Africa, from September 12 to September 15, 2023, both in person and online.

The council wants to have a lot of people come and will pay for the trip costs of 120 people from South Africa. These chosen people will work with experts in their fields to solve real problems in their areas of expertise.

The BRICS Future Skills Challenge is open to professionals between the ages of 16 and 35, as well as university and TVET college students. Participants will have the chance to compete against their peers from other BRICS countries, either as individuals or as part of a team.

Joanne Brink, founder of TechWays and project lead at BRICS Future Skills, says that there are many benefits to taking part in the challenge. She emphasised that those who were chosen would get training, real-world case studies, and foreign experience that would look good on their resumes.

Benefit for BRICS participants

Participants will also get awards and have the chance to compare their skills around the world. Those who do especially well will also have the chance to meet possible employers and establish themselves as South Africa’s top talents.

Brink said, “The competition will not only show off the skills of our tech professionals, but it will also help us figure out where there is a lack of skills.” This information will help us figure out where to put our efforts to build a pool of tech skills for South Africa’s future.

To equip participants for the challenge, training sessions led by industry experts will be conducted via webinars on Saturdays throughout August.

The competition will encompass various skill categories, including aircraft maintenance, Agri IOT, building information modeling, cyber security, data science, digital twin, drones, internet marketing, manufacturing robotics, mobile app development, renewable energy, and robotic process automation.

Individuals who are interested can submit their applications for the BRICS Future Skills Challenge here until June 30, 2023.
