Leading provider
of open source software and services Obsidian Systems has joined forces with
global open source software leader Red Hat, ICT training service provider CTU
Training Solutions and the MICT Seta to host an induction day on 31 March for
20 potential Red Hat Linux System Administrators and open source professionals.
The orientation programme will take place at CTU
campus in Sandton and will offer students a full overview of the first
learnership involving Red Hat in South Africa.
As a recognised leader in the open source market
Obsidian understands the market requirement for candidates to possess
structured practical experience and in-depth theoretical background.
“We are encouraging candidates to pursue a career
in IT and become certified and qualified professionals who are able to add
value to South African business that have adopted Linux or open source
solutions.” says Muggie van Staden, MD of Obsidian Systems.
Van Staden says the demand for open source skills
is driven by the increased relevance of this software within the South African
market.
More businesses are having to streamline
operations, reduce cost, operate more productively and efficiently, says van
Staden and this is where open source systems adds value.
“The fact that this is the first of its kind
learnership in South Africa reflects the increasing popularity of open source
and the desire for companies to bring in skilled individuals to help administrate
these systems to enhance operations,” van Staden adds.
