70 Telkom Annual Report 2009 Human capital management (continued) Overall, the year under review was our most successful to date in terms of bursar placements (80%) and a pass rate of more than 95%. Africa Online and Multi-Links Africa Online is our internet service provider (ISP) in Nairobi, Kenya and Multi- Links is Nigeria’s first private telecommunications operator. Two of our top management employees are on three year contracts in Nairobi and 39 are based in Lagos. Telkom Centres of Excellence Telkom's Centres of Excellence (CoE) is a collaboration programme between Telkom, the telecommunications industry and government to promote research in communication technology and allied sciences and to provide facilities to encourage young scientists and engineers to pursue their research interests in South Africa The CoE programme was launched in February 1997 when the then Minister of Communications, Mr Jay Naidoo participated in the signing ceremony of the first research agreement between Telkom, Siemens and the University of Cape Town. During 1997 a total of seven CoEs were launched and subsequently, during the following year another five were established, including several at technikons. From the launch of the programme, the current Chief Executive Officer of Telkom, Mr Reuben September, became the patron of the programme and has guided and supported the initiative. At each of the launches during 1997/98, top ranking government officials, including Mr Andile Ngcaba, Mr Tokyo Sexwale and Minister Sibusiso Bhengu participated in the signing ceremonies of the collaborative research agreements. As part of Telkom’s contribution to the upliftment of advanced research skills in South Africa, several of the previously under-resourced universities were partnered with historically white universities. After a number of years these previously disadvantaged institutions have established themselves as research centres that can operate independently. Examples of these joint research centres are Rhodes University and the University of Fort Hare as well as the University of KwaZulu-Natal together with the University of Zululand. Currently, there are 16 CoEs across the country, each with a unique research focus. The CoEs are jointly funded by Telkom, ICT industry players and the Department of Trade and Industry - through its Technology and Human Resource for Industry Programme (THRIP). Sound governance ensures that allocated funds are well managed. Various levels of governance established. have been formally • Formal CoE Agreement between all stakeholders. • Each CoE is managed by a Steering Committee represented by the research staff, Telkom, the respective industry sponsor and a representative from the THRIP management team. • Research project selection mechanisms are aligned with; industry partner/s and THRIP funding criteria. • High level governance of the CoE programme is provided by an Executive Management Council with representivity from Telkom, industry, academia and THRIP. The various CoEs have been encouraged to build relationships with African universities to expand the ICT blueprint in Africa as a catalyst for job creation and economic development. Major progress has already been made in this regard and formal agreements exist, inter alia, with institutions in Egypt, Ethiopia, Uganda, Namibia, Kenya, Libya and Tunisia. The CoE programme enables the various institutions to establish research facilities that would not otherwise have been possible without the necessary Telkom, industry and government sponsorship. Skills retention in South Africa is a major challenge as many talented post-graduate students are attracted to opportunities overseas. An important feature of the CoE programme is that the extensive research opportunities offered to students effectively contribute to minimising the “brain drain”, thus keeping our talent here to provide a valuable human resource to the industry. Approximately 250 students are currently pursuing post graduate degrees through the programme and since its inception, more than 1,800 post graduate degrees have been awarded. The profile of the current CoE students is: • 84 Doctoral students • 166 Masters students • 20 women • 150 BEE candidates • 38% non-South African students Currently 27 industry partners are involved in the CoE programme. Industry stakeholders are more than financiers of the CoE programme as they also play a vital
ole in exposing students to the real world of communication. Telkom’s CoE programme has been recognised as a catalyst for ICT research in Africa.
