CapaCiTi Digital Career Accelerator

CiTi does so by creating globally competitive tech and innovation sectors, to enable sustainable economic growth and greater employment.

CiTi was established in 1999 and works at the intersection of business, government and society to positively shape the future of the economy and society with the use of innovation and technology. We see this model as the key driver for systemic, regional change and progression.

Our success at building successful regional technology ecosystems are recognised in a recent Endeavor Insight, 2018 report “Evaluation & Network Analysis of the Cape Town – Stellenbosch Tech Sector”.

The report concluded “Cape Town is arguably the most productive and impactful tech hub in Sub-Saharan Africa.”

CapaCiTi Digital Career Accelerator is the skills development division of CiTi. CapaCiTi’ s vision is to enable inclusive growth of the digital economy by ensuring a supply pipeline of future-fit, skilled employees with relevant digital skills matched to industry demand.

We do this through innovative training and experiential learning programmes that focus on both technical and professional development.

CapaCiTi brings together expertise, technology and resources from industry, academia, government and impact funders in order to develop young South African talent with in-demand skills, giving them a foundation for successful and fulfilling careers.

Candidates receive blended training at our Tech Campuses via an online learning platform that promotes self-learning and group work as part of a holistic programme designed to develop digitally confident candidates. Industry mentors provide teams with a business challenge and ask them to investigate a solution and present back to their mentor weekly. These activities enhance team work, communication and create a culture of solution-driven design thinking.
