CHIETA and CXI-Africa signed an MOA in January 2022 to create new and critically skilled human resources for the mainstream economy , benefiting organisations of all sizes as digital transformation advances in South Africa .
Pillay explains , “ Intelligence systems are becoming integrated into every aspect of our lives , bringing with them significant cultural and societal changes on a global scale . South Africa has a general skills void and faces the further challenge of having to play catch-up with 4IR skills in particular , to close the digital divide in our society . This means we must prioritise skills development in this area . Our XR development project will help to close this gap , particularly in light of the fact that XR has been shown to develop a wide range of skills that include analysing , exploring , planning , configuring , decision-making , assessing and collaborating , all of which contribute to sustainable employment opportunities .”
