Dimension Data Job Framework

Dimension Data Job Framework is designed to help you find your entry point into our team and to plan your career with us. The framework maps all recommended career paths in Pre-Sales, Consulting, Technical and Project Management in the organisation to a global standard.

Technical training
At Dimension Data, we are serious about investing in our people’s development, especially keeping abreast with the latest technologies. Take our Unified Communications Training Initiative (UCTI) for example. This investment in our people has even impressed the analysts at Gartner! This objective of the programme is to address the global skills shortage of crucial Unified Communications skills. It fast tracks graduates and employees through the CCVP curriculum with a Cisco Learning Partner and includes our in-house IPT deployment methodology. Gartner identified our UCTI training programme as a best practice in the industry. In fact, they scoured the globe for similar programmes so they could compile a report of multiple best practices to share with their customers - but they couldn't find any. The result? The whole report is about us!

Beneficial partnerships
At Dimension Data, we use our partner relationships to provide solutions with appropriate, best-of-breed technology. As a result our people get preferred access to the latest technologies, premier technical support and advanced training to provide best solution possible.

Cisco:
We have a particularly close relationship with Cisco and our deep understanding of Cisco products and commitment to delivering excellent results with this partner has resulted in many prestigious Cisco awards.

It is vital for us to ensure that our employees have the latest Cisco certifications and that all our Cisco certifications are kept up to date. We encourage our people to develop their careers and branch out into new technologies, such as from network engineering to performance engineering, or from wireless to enterprise mobility and unified communications. We pay for all training and certification exams related to the role. Online material available via our corporate learning institution, DDU, and employees have access to Cisco’s Partner E-learning Connection.

Tandberg:
Dimension Data is well on its way to becoming Tandberg's number one global partner for products and services. Dimension Data Europe was recently recognized as Tandberg's System Integration Partner of the Year.
