Netcampus has a rich training history and footprint accumulated over the past two decades, which continues to flourish under the leadership of CEO and shareholder Makgatho.

Makgatho is Soweto born and bred and studied at Wits with a BSC degree. She was introduced in the skills development sector after a stint as a market researcher in the IT space and holding various positions in the ICT skills and development sectors.

“Netcampus has a rich training history and footprint accumulated over the past two decades, which continues to flourish. I am a strong believer in empowerment and training and have a strong drive and passion to transform the ICT sector and break barriers of entry into a predominantly male-dominated sector. I started to understand what skills development is and how training provides opportunities for young people especially through funded learning – and that is the premise Netcampus is set upon,” continued Makgatho.
