Future GeekStar: School learners can become scholars through the VacWork programme
We have the Future GeekStars initiative which is used as a platform to monitor the progression of learners from high school to tertiary level and then to the job market so that the transition is made easy.
The main focus is on skills development and fostering entrepreneurship and innovation that will make them be active leaders of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry.
School learners may be registered for the holiday VacWork programme.
Geekulcha was primary created for university students and still has a key focus on them hence the organization leverages on academic partnerships to create and enable more opportuinities for students.
Students at universities can take part of these programmes:
Student Leadership on campus (GKSS)
Hackathons and Mapathons
Student VacWork Programme
In most cases, Geekulcha crew would be busy with other projects and as such, we owuld refer you to a developer in the community.
From time to time we host the programmes in the townships. Digital Literacy programmes or trainings are set fr rural and remote areas.
