Miss SA Natasha Joubert Launches More Bursary Opportunities

Miss South Africa Natasha Joubert secures a further 10 educational bursaries

Reigning Miss South Africa Natasha Joubert launched the second phase of her advocacy campaign with 10 more bursaries being made available as part of the education arm of her Natasha Joubert Collective.

This time Joubert has partnered with computer company ASUS who will be sponsoring five coding scholarships to individuals who aspire to pursue a career in technology. They have been joined by leading coding school HyperionDev which will also be sponsoring five bursaries.

Says a delighted Joubert:

“I am grateful that my campaign is helping some young people achieve more than they dreamed they would. The overwhelming response has strengthened my commitment to do as much as possible in the education and entrepreneurial spaces to make a difference in some people’s lives.”

Adds Juan Mouton, ASUS Country Marketing Manager, South Africa:

“We are delighted to join forces with Natasha and HyperionDev to make a tangible difference in the lives of South African youth.”

His sentiments are echoed by HyperionDev CEO and founder Riaz Moola:

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Miss South Africa, marking a significant stride in HyperionDev’s mission to uplift South African youth through skill development and meaningful employment opportunities. Our primary goal extends beyond upskilling. We are dedicated to fostering the talents of our participants and assisting them in finding gainful opportunities in the workforce. The partnership with Miss South Africa is a testament to our commitment to this cause.”

“We are especially excited about the generous sponsorship commitment from ASUS, allowing unemployed students to enrol in our Data Science bootcamp. This collaboration aligns seamlessly with our vision of creating pathways for talented individuals to excel in the tech space, fostering a positive impact on both their lives and the broader community.”

HyperionDev is known for its data base on which students looking to enrol for learnerships upload their details with this stored information then being used to match companies and learners, thus hyper-focusing on the needs of one and the skills and abilities of the other.

The scholarships will enable the selected students to participate in a comprehensive six-month Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp offered by HyperionDev. This online, part-time programme includes official HyperionDev Certification upon completion and access to the HyperionDev 90-Day Bespoke Graduate Programme, providing graduates with valuable skills and support to kickstart their careers in technology.

The ASUS/HyperionDev campaign opens today (April 9). Entries will close on April 19, 2024. Eligibility for the scholarships is open to all residents of South Africa, regardless of background or experience. The names of the 10 lucky recipients will be announced on April 30.
