GetCertified IT Training launches internship partnerships with IT employers.

March 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Arnold Graaff, CEO of GetCertified IT Training says: "We have always as a college, addressed this issue with success by encouraging students to get our competency certificate (for completing a practical project) after a course. Some employers, however have more specific requirements, so we have decided to partner with employers to customise the competency certificate, to suit every individual employer's specific needs".

Says Graaff: "With our integrated internship program, we extend this practical ability further by allowing employer interns to also work on their own employer assignments in between course modules."

What is an integrated internship?

• GetCertified supplies the employer with (the employer can also supply) a talented junior (the admission criteria will determine to which course (6 or 12 modules) he is admitted. See http://www.getcertified.co.za/jobseekersdiploma or http://getcertifiedtraining.wordpress.com .

• The employer / sponsor employs this student as an intern (salary or non-salary basis) agreeing to pay for his/her minimum training in exchange that he/she will work for the employer / sponsor afterwards (or pay back his training).

• The student attends his training modules with GetCertified and in between courses or afternoons, joins his sponsor's team on their premises, to work on some of their low-priority projects assigned to him / her.

• The sponsor's assignments can be used as additional practical assignments for the student's competency score and he / she also gets assistance from Getcertified to complete these.

•  Getcertified has regular meetings with the sponsor to assess the student's competency and make adjustments / customisations to our training where possible.

• This has the result that the student not only gains a generic competency level, but also gains competence specific to the sponsor's environment, thereby adding value to their team.
