Interfront 2025 Annual Report

93 GOVERNANCE 15 Social Responsibility Interfront remains steadfast in its commitment to making meaningful contributions to South Africa’s social and economic development. As a responsible corporate citizen, we recognise the importance of investing in youth, education, and transformation – particularly within the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. Our Bursary and Graduate Internship Programme is a cornerstone of this commitment, driving inclusive growth, empowerment, and long-term impact. Bursary Programme Since its launch in the 2013/2014 financial year, the Interfront Bursary Programme has played a pivotal role in supporting access to higher education for students from the designated groups. The programme offers financial assistance to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in fields critical to our operations, such as software development, computer science, and information systems. The bursary covers tuition fees and related academic costs and is designed to relieve the financial burden on students and their families and contribute to a more inclusive and representative ICT talent pipeline. As of the 2024/25 financial year, three bursars are currently enrolled and actively pursuing their studies. Interfront maintains regular engagement with these students, offering mentorship and guidance to help ensure academic success and alignment with future employment prospects in the industry.
