Our empowerment and employment equity strategies have ensured that we are able to address the various levels of historical inequalities.

The features of our policy and strategy are:

• We strive to grow skills from within by means of structured internship and training programs guiding the process.
• We ensure that previous historically disadvantaged individuals get preferred opportunities from employment and advancement possibilities at e.com institute.
• We are committed to developing our employees to reach their greatest potential.
• We invest continuously in our people through organisational learning and development.
• We have adopted a selective recruitment, selection and promotion policy, based on an 80:20 ratio principle favouring historically disadvantaged individuals.
• We have created internship positions for historically disadvantaged individuals from tertiary institutions with a view to providing practical exposure to the students.

We are fully empowered in terms of the Draft ICT Charter and are committed to ongoing management development programs, Skills Transfer, Procurement Policies, and Social Responsibility programs geared to assisting other businesses with their employment equity initiatives. In addition to facilitate further transformation we run mentorship programs and help foster an awareness of the industry and the role e.com institute has to play in it.
