E Squared Investments has recently unveiled its investment in Zaio Technologies, an EdTech platform poised to redefine learning in the digital age.
Zaio Technologies, established by a dynamic cadre of young entrepreneurs, offers comprehensive job-oriented coding training through full-stack, specialized front-end, and back-end courses via their online Learning Management System. Catering to both businesses and individual consumers, Zaio provides tailor-made learning programs to aid companies in upscaling their workforce and guiding them through skill development initiatives.
In South Africa, attaining digital education poses a significant challenge for many, primarily due to the exorbitant costs of IT degrees and the scarcity of additional educational resources. Coupled with financial constraints, numerous students encounter limited access to devices and face constraints stemming from personal commitments, further impeding the accessibility of digital education. Consequently, this hampers the cultivation of a pool of technically proficient talent among South African youth, constraining their potential for success in a digital landscape.
Zaio confronts these systemic barriers by offering online, self-paced, or bootcamp courses designed to furnish students with certified IT skills within a minimum span of six months and aid them in securing job placements upon course completion.
The founding team comprises CEO Mvelo Hlophe, CMO Harjot Singh, Head of Product Asif Hassam, and COO Akhil Boddu. Their collective expertise and innovative zeal, bolstered by a team of nine additional employees, form the cornerstone of their endeavor to revolutionize digital education.
