Our Destined for Diversity programme aims to enrich the lives of disabled graduates from previously disadvantaged backgrounds with an opportunity to further their education and career aspirations while integrating into mainstream employment. The curriculum comprises a blend of post-graduate studies, soft skills training, coaching and experiential learning. The 12-month programme allows the graduates to apply learned theory into practice and to develop and grow their skills within the Ucademy, WNS Global Services Contact Centre and Financial Service arenas.
First delivered in 2017, Ucademy partnered with WNS Global Services SA on the design, development and implementation of a world-class Disability Graduate Development Programme that can truly empower and grow a diverse workforce.
One of Ucademy’s focus areas is the management of learnerships through the implementation of a professional learnership framework, which is designed to ensure optimal benefit for both the employer and the learner. Our team of learnership experts will be able to walk your team through all the steps in the learnership journey.
During our discovery session, we will ensure that we help you understand each milestone within the learnership journey, aiming to highlight the most critical components to take into consideration when embarking on or managing a learnership within the workplace.
Our team of experts across South Africa will ensure that your learnership is managed as a structured learning process which combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills application in the workplace, leading to a qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Qualifications are Outcomes-Based and therefore the knowledge component is acquired through training, whilst the skills component is achieved back in the learners natural work environment. Ucademy, as a registered training provider will ensure that all the minimum requirements are met in terms of the requirements within a particular qualification.
We pride ourselves in delivering excellence and some of the benefits may include; expanding or growing the skills-base of your organisation, campaign or business. Creating employable opportunities for individuals who can add value and grow your business, which could be linked to your Broad-Based Black Economic (BBBEE) under the Skills Development Category. Our team builds lasting relationships with learners, whether they by employed or unemployed by providing them with opportunities to improve existing skills and develop additional ones. This means that both theoretical and practical workplace learning within the workplace takes centre stage while excelling within the workplace and achieving a national recognised qualification.
Ucademy, together with WNS Global Services SA, has sourced and hosted 150 learners and interns across five sites - Century City, Bellville, Durban, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.

Ucademy offers customised training and support which meets the needs of individuals and companies to ensure successful completion of the regulatory exams and financial qualifications, as well as a solid understanding of TCF and FICA requirements.
Old Mutual DFA provides clients with financial advice on a range of insurance and risk products. As a direct insurer, they recruited large volumes of new entrants into the financial service industry annually. Every year, they would see young people having to go through the overwhelming stress of needing to pass a regulatory exam to be able to continue on their career path.
Ucademy and Christel Lategan made it easy. Using an innovative, personalized approach, the team was able to see huge returns while remaining extremely professional. It was such an inspiration to see advisors cheer each other on when the results were published and they were successful.
