“Through the BET Software “Dare to Dream” bursary, I was able to complete my studies through college and successfully attain my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer and Information Sciences in Application Development. This really meant a lot to me and my family – we were relieved, and it was a blessing to know I could take the strain off my parents. The bursary has helped me in my IT career because I was able to get into the BET Software Graduate Programme, which was a foot in the (IT industry) door. This was my goal – to get into a software development company. I will forever be grateful and thankful to BET Software, and I am happy to be part of the BET Software family.”
