Each year, Entelect takes on some of South Africa’s brightest young university graduates, who join us with a mix of engineering, science and commerce degrees. These graduates participate in the intensive Entelect Graduate Programme for six weeks, aimed at accelerating their careers. This training programme is structured to prepare them for the diverse real-world technology delivery environments, and the critical thinking, teamwork and technical skills required to succeed.
