"Looking back to my interview task, I cringe at what I thought to be my best at that time and that’s because so much can happen in six months. The graduate programme has taught me that growth comes from being uncomfortable while the support around me keeps grounded. I’ve been through an amazing career self-awareness journey that has equipped me with skills, experiences, and competencies to navigate my career path."

"I think the first thing that impressed me was how well the programme was structured. The whole programme was well planned and executed to perfection. The ramp ups were well designed and helped us to quickly get involved and learn what Opti-Num Solutions is about. The programme was fast paced, but there was also a lot of growth and development. I have learned to be more confident in myself and my work. The culture at Opti-Num is amazing. From the first day I arrived I feltlike part of the team. Thanks to the Opti-Num team for this experience. I think the grad programme is the best there is out there."

"The graduate program at Opti-Num Solutions exceeded all my expectations. On entering the graduate program I had very little experience in software engineering. Thanks to the rigorous training and mentoring programs offered, I have gained a sound understanding of software engineering. Opti-Num provided courses to ramp-up my technical skills in data science, business analytics, software engineering, smart mining, data visualization and unit testing. These newly acquired skills, coupled with my engineer background have allowed me to develop solutions to problems that I otherwise would not have been able to solve."

"The Graduate programme did not only present me with an opportunity to grow in my technical skills. It was a platform for me to grow mentally, emotionally, and believe in myself and strengths all over again. I can confidently state that the carefully planned program schedule has given me the knowledge and self-assurance I need to successfully navigate any obstacles put in my path."
Vukosi Mboweni
"The most amazing thing about the grad programme is the amount of development and growth technically, mentally, and emotionally. I now wear many hats, application engineer, app developer, consultant, doing prospecting, and I owe the ability to do this job to the grad programme. Every detail about the programme is well thought of, gradually ramping you up and before you know it you are working on amazing projects where your value is evident. Lastly, I really enjoyed meeting all the amazing people at Opti-Num Solutions and in the grad programme."
