| FreeCom
has developed a comprehensive in house skills development
training program. This program allows learners to become skilled
in all practical aspects of:
- computer
refurbishment
- repair
- sales
- sales
support
- basic
computer literacy training
The vision is that these learners will be equipped with all
the necessary skills to secure employment in the South African
corporate IT sector. Alternatively, and more preferably, they
will be able to set up their own businesses as independent
FreeCom franchisees. As self employed FreeCom franchisees
they will, in turn, provide job creation and skills development
opportunities for other people.
FreeCom's Digital Workshop facility places great emphasis
on the social development and upliftment of individuals and
communities.
Strategic
partnerships
As a result, we're continually seeking strategic partners,
advisors, investors, suppliers, donors and trade partners
who share our view and vision. Together we can make a difference
in the IT, Communications and Education field by:
- helping
others gain a foothold in the IT industry
- empowering
people, via access to affordable hardware and appropriate
skills
- to
create and develop opportunities for themselves adding value
to their lives or occupations
FreeCom
has entered into a joint venture with eDegree, an on-line
educational provider backed by Johnnic and PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Our role is to ensure that affordable personal computers are
made available across Southern Africa. The aim is to make
distance learning (via on-line universities and adult based
training programs) more affordable and accessible.
Microsoft
has also identified FreeCom as a business partner. As a result,
we will soon be accredited as one of the only Microsoft Approved
Refurbishers (MAR) in the Southern Hemisphere.
FreeCom
has been appointed an IBM member as part of IBM's international
dealer/broker network.
Additionally, FreeCom Group has been registered as an Internet
Service Provider (ISP). We now offer affordable Internet access
to our target market.

offering, please do not hesitate to contact us.
