A short while ago emediaIT was invited to attend the ICT Advisory Board meeting for the local university, the NMMU. It was truly an honour to attend on behalf of emediaIT and there was representation from many of the leading local and national companies, including Telkom, Dimension Data and Korbitec.
The meeting went extremely well and we were able to give input in a free and open forum. In addition to this I was nominated for a position on the NMMU Council which I hope will give emediaIT and I further opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of education locally.
There are so many colleagues and friends of mine which have come from either UPE or Technikon (Now combined as the NMMU) here in PE at the time and are now leaders in their various fields, especially in IT. It's really important that we should continue to show the rest of the country and the rest of the world the quality that our city and region can produce.
