Alibaba Cloud Graduate Development in Africa
“Graduate unemployment in South Africa grows at an unprecedented rate each year. New graduates, many with Honours and Masters degrees, struggle to find jobs for reasons cited as their lack of foundational workplace skills. Internships support the transition of new graduates into the workplace and aid the development of foundational skills on which to build their careers” (WWF, 2023).
The vision of our Alibaba Cloud graduate programme is to close the gap in the industry by providing employment opportunities for graduates whilst developing a talent pipeline of Alibaba Cloud Engineers for Africa.
BCX Academy Training Events
Training events (past and upcoming) include our Hackathon, graduate programme, bursaries, free training, roadshows, and university engagements.
