TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
DDU is Dimension Data's global corporate
university and is available to all staff within the Group. It acts as the
strategic umbrella for all training and development initiatives. The DDU
ensures that we remain focused on the training elements that assist in the
achievement of our company’s goals.
Training delivered through DDU is
conducted in partnership with world class institutions, partner organisations
and consultants such as Harvard Business School, Manchester Business School, Cisco and Microsoft.
The DDU has its flagship physical
presence at The Campus in Johannesburg, South Africa. It houses classrooms,
computer labs and breakaway rooms to accommodate the diverse training courses
offered.
The DDU has a strong online presence
allowing staff to access world class training content from anywhere in the
world via a dedicated portal located on the company’s Intranet. Through this
portal Dimension Data employees have access to virtual classrooms, webinars,
custom-built online modules, libraries containing online books and articles,
assessments for certifications, information on training offerings and other
self development tools.
Each training focus area is represented
by a Centre of Excellence (CoE). The programmes and content offered within
DDU is organised within three CoEs namely Sales, Technical & Delivery and
Business & Leadership.
Dimension Data’s career principles
promote the approach that you own your personal development. We therefore
encourage our employees to take ownership of their career paths by checking
their Personal Development Plans, visiting the DDU portal for on-the-job
training and continuously liaising with management about their development
needs.
