Axiz, the leading value-added distributor in sub-Saharan Africa, has launched its 2026 Graduate Programme in collaboration with SUSE, a global leader in enterprise open-source solutions. The strategic collaboration combines Axiz’s established distribution reach with SUSE’s enterprise-grade, open-source technologies and training expertise to develop production-ready ICT professionals for the regional market.
The 2026 cohort will begin a 12-month structured development cycle in mid-February, specifically engineered to produce specialists in enterprise Linux, cloud-native infrastructure and cybersecurity. This initiative addresses a critical market mismatch: the high demand for cloud and DevOps professionals versus the shortage of practical, workplace-ready experience among graduates.

Sustaining the Partner Ecosystem

Robert Nkuna, Chief Human Resources Officer at Axiz, says the SUSE Graduate Programme forms part of a broader channel enablement strategy aimed at strengthening long-term ecosystem capability. “By embedding graduates within partner organisations, we are creating a sustainable pipeline of talent that can support modern infrastructure environments and enhance cyber resilience,” he says.
Nkuna explains that the programme is structured to deliver measurable outcomes for both partners and participants, with a clear focus on building enterprise-ready technical depth within the channel. He adds that aligning training to technologies currently in high demand ensures the initiative supports partner growth while contributing to the continued development of the regional ICT sector.
The programme combines theoretical instruction with practical workplace exposure to support the development of production-level capability.
  • Accredited qualifications: Participants will complete the Occupational Certificate: Cybersecurity Analyst (NQF Level 5) together with specialised SUSE enterprise training.
  • Workplace mentorship: Graduates will be placed within partner organisations and exposed to live customer environments under structured supervision.
  • Technical curriculum: The programme includes preparation for SUSE Enterprise Administrator and Engineer certifications to establish foundational enterprise Linux competency.
  • Further specialisation: Participants will also complete Kubernetes and Rancher certification as part of the development pathway.
Magda Hanekom, Partner Executive for SUSE SSA, who brings over 26 years of distribution and channel expertise to the initiative, emphasises the social and technical impact of the collaboration:
“There is a massive need for these programmes; we have young people who want to make a success of their lives but lack the resources. This is what SUSE and Axiz are bringing to the market. Not only will these students gain technical knowledge, but they will also be hosted and mentored by SUSE partners for the duration of the programme.”

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
