ABOUT US
yakha means “to build” in isiZulu, the language of the South African Zulu. And that is exactly what we do:
yakha forms the bridge between companies with a need for IT professionals and technically savvy personalities who want to take the leap into a new career.
Our team supports both the companies in the selection of suitable candidates as well as the future IT specialists during a typically 14-month development phase. Companies and trainees are always matched in the best possible way.
