Samsung & Wits University celebrate third cohort of App Factory graduates
“South African software development solutions are competing globally for talent so we need to make sure that we are growing a quality talent pipeline locally that can be productive in the workplace fairly quickly. There is still too big a gap in the work readiness of graduates. The App Factory addresses this gap,” says Lesley Donna Williams, CEO of Tshimologong Precinct.
2020’s cohort had only eight out of 85 applicants, while 2021’s group consisted of nine out of 306 applicants. This year represented the App Factory’s largest wave of applicants but only 18 interns were chosen out of 772 who applied.While there is a high demand of applicants for the programme, the teaching approach is intensive and high-impact, focusing on small groups and individual attention per intern.
