“We are incredibly proud to be certified as the Top Employer in Africa for the second year in a row. We believe that the well-being of our employees contributes directly to our ability to fulfil our purpose of connecting for a better future. By continually enhancing our Employee Value Proposition through empathetic and inclusive policies and practices, we are cultivating a workplace culture where people feel valued, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential,” says Shameel Joosub, CEO of Vodacom Group.

Vodacom enhanced its Employee Value Proposition in 2024 by providing employee benefits that match its dedication to fostering a welcoming and encouraging work environment.

With a focus on C.A.R.E. (Compassion, Acceptance, Respect, and Empathy), the company’s improved health programs include a more comprehensive family responsibility leave policy and assistance for all life stages, including menopause.

Vodacom Group launches Digital Skills Hub 

“Maintaining our position as Africa’s Top Employer once again demonstrates our dedication to enabling our employees to thrive. However, our focus on nurturing talent and career development in the tech industry extends to the millions of young people across the continent who are the future of work. There is an urgent need to prepare the next generation for the rapidly evolving digital economy. To this end, we have launched the Digital Skills Hub, with the goal to equip one million young people in Africa by 2027 by providing access to self-paced, digital skills training for those aged between 18 and 35,” says Matimba Mbungela, Chief Human Resources Officer at Vodacom Group.

The Vodacom Digital Skills Hub, which was created in partnership with other tech companies like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, intends to close the digital skills gap in eight African nations—South Africa, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Lesotho, Egypt, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Kenya—by increasing digital literacy throughout the continent.

To encourage the future generation to pursue a career in STEM fields, the Vodacom Digital Skills Hub offers young people throughout the continent enjoyable and interesting hands-on training in digital skills.

One of the first programs made available through the Digital Skills Hub is AWS Educate, which is also an addition to Vodacom’s other online learning platforms. AWS Educate provides novices with a vast collection of self-paced online courses covering everything from the basics of cloud computing to AI and machine learning.

“As we embark on a new year, we want to encourage young people, whether they’re students, job seekers or aspiring entrepreneurs, to benefit from the Digital Skills Hub. By supporting digital skills training as a Top Employer, we are empowering the next workforce and ensuring that everyone can connect to a better future,” concludes Joosub.
