Altron to launch ICT skills-focused education trust

Altron is pursuing a new broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) ownership transaction that will result in the launching of a sustainable information and communications technology (ICT) skills focussed education trust. In a statement issued on Sens on Friday, Altron said that the transaction will be used to enhance the current employee value proposition by providing funding to qualifying employees' relatives and other stakeholders within the Altron ecosystem, giving them access to ICT-related education opportunities to address the increasing scarcity of ICT skills in South Africa.
