The Academy of Accelerated Technology Education is a new model for hands-on training in the dynamic field of cloud computing. We are a social enterprise that works closely with technology providers and employers to equip students with the latest hands-on skills they need to succeed in the exponential era. And this translates into a pipeline of relevant talent for South African businesses, enabling them to keep up with and surpass their global peers in the technology arena. Our Vision To create a substantial pool of quality technically-skilled people that are equipped to lead in the continuously evolving technology environment, and contribute in a meaningful way to resolving South Africa’s massive unemployment problem. This will not only solve our technology skills shortage but also achieve a position that allows South Africa to export our technology skills by providing services internationally. To achieve this vision, we are focused on 4 main goals: * Support the creation of a bigger pool of available technical skills in SA * Grow relevant practical technical skills in the country quickly * Assist in managing the ever-increasing cost of technical skills * Assist in alleviating the increasing unemployment problem in the country The AATE is our first step in achieving these goals.
