Our partnership with NOSi allows Ashinaga Brasil scholarship recipients to experience unique learning opportunities and develop their skills with NOSiAkademia, which has an exemplary and well-structured internship program in various fields of study, promoting youth employability alongside digital inclusion and transformation. We thank NOSi for their generosity in hosting our first scholarship interns and look forward to more opportunities for exchange and strengthening ties in the future.

In 2007, we won our first project in Cabo Verde, launching our presence in the PALOP region, which remains solid and continuous to this day. Over 17 years after arriving in Cape Verde, VisionWare has established a strategic point in this African country, both financially and in terms of business. 

Cabo Verde is the best case study and the greatest success story for VisionWare. The synergies established with NOSiAkademia have proven to be a unique partnership for the successful implementation of our strategy in Cabo Verde and a local partner of Excellence, which has allowed us to grow and be a true ally in terms of training, discovery, and support in retaining new human talents. 

VisionWare has already received and supported close to 50 interns over the past 2 years, absorbing some of these talents into the company, given their significant contributions to VisionWare's activities and team performance. It's worth mentioning the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) established between NOSi-EPE and VisionWare in May 2022.

This MoU aims, among other objectives, to develop cooperation and synergies between the two institutions, capable of providing favorable conditions for the creation of a VisionWare Competence Center in Cabo Verde, to provide Cybersecurity services in the global market, exemplified by our VisionWare Threat Intelligence Center, a cyber threat monitoring and detection center operating globally via Cabo Verde. 

The advantage of having people trained in Cabo Verde, by NOSi itself and the academic community, has been a fantastic experience, with the raw material available, and this joint collaboration has worked very well. Therefore, this will be a long-term partnership, reinforced by our strategic shift to the TechPark, a digital hub and a major technological project for positioning Cabo Verde as a "technological island." 

VisionWare is once again at the forefront, being the first foreign (and Portuguese) company to relocate its local office to the TechPark. VisionWare will continue to invest in people trained in Cabo Verde to work not only in the archipelago but from Cabo Verde "to the whole world."

The DevTrust Consulting is a Cape Verdean company founded in 2019, with team members who have previously worked at NOSi. Thus, we know from firsthand experience the environment of excellence and the competence of the institution and its professionals.

As soon as we learned about the internship programs at NosiAkademia and the opportunity created for interns to be placed in companies within the sector, we expressed our interest and were allocated some interns in 2019. Therefore, in the year of our company's creation, this program from NosiAkademia was essential for us to leverage our initial projects.

Since then, we have participated in several editions and pride ourselves on still having professionals in our team today who were allocated to us as interns in these editions. Retaining the talent that NosiAkademia provided us has been a priority for us.

DevTrust has several employees who were not allocated as interns in the company but who, after completing internships at NOSi and other companies, seek opportunities with us.

We firmly believe that we have young people in Cabo Verde with potential and we have been contributing to the creation of employment opportunities. The role that NosiAkademia has played in preparing these young people greatly alleviates the investment in resource training that companies have to make.

In our view, more important than the skills these young people acquire at NosiAkademia is the opportunity for them to experience the Nosian environment and culture. The benefits we gain from receiving young people who have had contact with this culture are immeasurable.

55% of our employees have had some contact with NOSi.
 

The youth internship program in the IT field in Cabo Verde, led by the NOSi Academy, has become a significant factor in the country's technology industry development. These internships offer young people the opportunity to gain practical experience and apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during their academic training.

BRAVANTIC evolving technology, established in Cabo Verde since 2018, with representation in Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Brazil, and the UAE, is committed to leveraging technology for sustainability and the well-being of individuals and businesses.

Recognizing the importance of investing in the development and empowerment of young talents, BRAVANTIC has partnered with NOSI to provide internship programs that enable Cape Verdean youth to experience the work environment and develop their technical skills alongside our team of 2500 employees, bridging from Cabo Verde to the global stage.

During the internship, young people have the opportunity to work directly with experienced IT professionals, learning from them and contributing to real company projects. This provides a valuable opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during their academic studies.

In addition to practical development, internships also help young people develop personal skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. Interacting with experienced professionals at BRAVANTIC is an excellent way to gain insights into the industry and the various available career paths.

In Cabo Verde, the IT sector has shown significant growth in recent years, with government and businesses investing in new technologies and digital transformation.

However, despite existing opportunities, it is essential to emphasize the importance of solid and continuous training in the IT field. Young people interested in IT internships in Cabo Verde should seek courses and certifications in this area to stand out and secure more competitive internship opportunities.

In conclusion, IT internships in Cabo Verde provide young people with practical experience and the opportunity to develop their technical skills. With the ongoing growth of the IT sector in the country, these internships are an excellent way for young people to prepare for a promising career in this field, thereby supporting Cabo Verde in its technological revolution.

This experience was crucial for my adaptation to a relevant institution in the country. With effort, dedication, and overcoming several challenges.
