<\/a>Microsoft recently announced a training sponsorship for SU staff and their children.\u00a0CTU Training Solutions, the company currently responsible for training staff, approached Stellenbosch University as one of their three biggest clients, with this offer.<\/p>\nApplicants will have to be able to attend classes every morning for the first year or after hours. Someone from a non-IT environment will still be able to do the course, but have to occupy an IT position in the second year where the information learnt in the first year will be applied on a practical level. During the second year, Microsoft will review the student’s performance.<\/p>\n
Children of SU staff are also eligible to complete these courses. Please take note that certain conditions apply. The offer is particularly applicable to staff whose children completed their matric, but do not have the financial means to study further. Disadvantaged and disabled applicants, as well as applicants from households with a single income or single parent will be given preference. Applicants may also be required to submit a written motivation as to why they would qualify for the funding.<\/p>\n
The only two requirements are that either the parents or company pay R2000-00 per month for the child’s travel and living expenses and he\/she completes and internship during the second year. CTU will assist the student with the placement of interns at an appropriate company.<\/p>\n
These courses generally run at a cost of R40\u00a0000, which makes this sponsorship a wonderful opportunity for any aspiring IT experts.<\/p>\n

Iemand uit \u2018n nie-IT verwante omgewing kan die kursus doen in die 1ste jaar, maar word verplig om die 2de jaar \u2018n IT pos te beklee en die kennis wat geleer is op `n praktiese vlak toe te pas.\u00a0Gedurende hierdie tweede jaar sal Microsoft dan ook die persoon se werkverrigting nagaan en beoordeel.<\/p>\n Kinders van US-personeel kan ook aansoek doen om hierdie kursusse te loop. Neem asseblief kennis dat sekere voorwaardes geld. Dit\u00a0is veral van toepassing op personeellede (byvoorbeeld enkelouers) wie se kind sy\/haar skoolopleiding voltooi het maar nie oor die finansi\u00eble middele beskik om verder te studeer nie. Voorheen benadeelde en gestremde aansoekers, sowel as aansoekers van huishoudings met `n enkel-inkomste of enkelouer, sal voorkeur geniet. Aansoekers mag ook versoek word om `n geskrewe motivering voor te l\u00ea waarin hulle uiteenset waarom hulle kwalifiseer vir die befondsing.<\/p>\n Die enigste twee voorwaardes is dat die ouers of maatskappy bereid moet wees om maandeliks R2000 te gee vir die kind se reis en verblyf en die kind moet ook\u00a0in die 2de jaar van studie \u2018n internskap doen.\u00a0CTU sal wel help met die plasing van interns by maatskappye<\/p>\n Aangesien hierdie die kursusse gewoonlik R40\u00a0000 beloop en met hierdie geleentheis gratis verskaf word, is dit `n wonderlike geleentheid vir aspirant IT-deskundiges.<\/p>\n Stuur asseblief aansoeke vir befondsing aan Petro Uys,\u00a0\u00a0puys@sun.ac.za<\/a>. Aansoekers sal op Vrydag, 11 Januarie in kennis gestel word of hulle aansoeke suksesvol was.<\/p>\n<\/a>Microsoft het onlangs aangekondig dat die maatskappy van plan is om `n aantal kursusse vir US-personeel en hulle kinders te borg. CTU Training Solutions, die maatskappy wat tans IT-kursusse aan personeel bied, het Universiteit Stellenbosch, as een van hulle 3 grootste kli\u00ebnte, genader met hierdie unieke Microsoft-aanbod.<\/p>\n
