Seseko is proud to announce the upcoming Digital Skills Summit, taking place 27-28 August 2026, bringing together learners, educators, industry leaders and innovators to shape the future of digital education and employment in South Africa.
Under the theme: “Bridging Education, Technology & Future Careers”, the summit will directly engage 1 500 students, 200+ educators, 75 schools and 15 districts across Gauteng, creating one of the region’s most impactful platforms for youth digital empowerment.
Why this summit matters now
South Africa is at a critical turning point:
- Youth unemployment remains above 45%, with many young people lacking access to relevant digital skills.
- Over 60% of jobs in the future will require digital literacy or technical skills.
- The demand for skills in coding, AI, data and digital entrepreneurship continues to outpace supply.
At the same time, access to hands-on exposure, mentorship and real-world career pathways remains limited, especially in underserved communities.
The Seseko Digital Skills Summit is designed to close this gap.
A platform for real impact
This is not just another conference. The summit delivers practical, hands-on experiences that prepare students for the modern workforce:
- Interactive digital workshops in coding, technology and innovation.
- Career guidance and mentorship from industry professionals.
- Exposure to emerging technologies shaping the future of work.
- Panel discussions and thought leadership from leading voices.
- Direct engagement between students and employers.
By connecting education with industry, Seseko is helping to build a pipeline of future-ready talent.
