SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Powertech IST operates in an industry that requires professionals with a high level of skills and experience. We realize that to continue to be a leader in our field, we have to facilitate, create and retain skills in our operating sector.

Management believes that the optimum combination of people power, innovation and market-leading technology make Powertech IST the successful business that it is. Powertech IST's employee promise goes beyond cash and benefits. It includes career development, personal fulfillment, wellness and being part of a winning culture. This culture is built on shared ideas and beliefs of what it takes to succeed in a challenging business environment.

Powertech IST is all about people. Therefore it places high value on developing its employees and ensuring their well-being. Management believes that only through a well-skilled workforce will it be able to achieve its business objectives. We believe t he greatest human capital challenge lies not so much in basic skills, as in strategic and professional leadership.

Powertech IST also provides employees with study loans to further their studies at recognised institutions. In addition the Powertech IST Human Capital Development Programme is a comprehensive programme that addresses the skills requirement at Powertech IST. The programme encompasses three phases, namely, the schools outreach programme, the Powertech IST University Bursary programme and the development of Powertech IST employees.
