Belgium Campus iTversity, UiPath Partner To Boost AI & Automation Training In SA

Belgium Campus iTversity has partnered with UiPath, a global leader in agentic automation, to enhance its training programs in software automation and AI.

As a new member of the UiPath Academic Alliance, the institution will integrate market-leading automation and AI curricula, empowering South Africa’s future workforce with cutting-edge skills.

Preparing Students for the Fifth Industrial Revolution

Dr. Jannie Zaaiman, CE of Education & Academic Collaboration at Belgium Campus iTversity, highlights how this collaboration will expand training in Robotic Process Automation (RPA), AI, and Agentic Automation.

“Belgium Campus’ course material already includes aspects of robotics, which translates to projects such as robot races and a recent partnership with Penn State University to construct a small-scale vertical farming robot. Now we will be able to offer our students additional hands-on skills development in the exciting field of software automation and AI, unlocking even more potential,” says Zaaiman.

Enhancing Employability with Industry-Leading Training

Through this partnership, students gain access to:

• A full automation and AI curriculum

• UiPath software licenses and certifications

• Hands-on experience with industry-leading tools

“This partnership provides students and educators with access to UiPath’s automation and AI curricula, software licenses, and certification opportunities, preparing them for careers in an increasingly automated world,” explains Zaaiman.

UiPath Academic Alliance: Bridging the Skills Gap

Florin Grigorescu, EMEA Head of UiPath Academic Alliance, emphasizes the program’s mission:

“When we launched the UiPath Academic Alliance, we took on the mission to democratise automation training to prevent the emergence of a skills gap and make sure that the workforce of the future has easy access to valuable automation and AI skills. We are proud to have Belgium Campus iTversity join our program as it expands its reputation as a world-class institution.”

UiPath Excellence Program Pilot & Global Recognition

Belgium Campus will launch its UiPath Excellence Program Pilot, offering structured learning pathways from foundational to professional developer-level skills. Additionally, the institution will be represented at the UiPath Academic Alliance Summit (8-9 May, Goa, India), where Jacqui Muller, a UiPath Visionary Educator (2024) and Africa’s only UiPath Most Valued Professional, will discuss scaling academic excellence.

Commitment to Future-Ready Education

By integrating UiPath’s resources, Belgium Campus ensures its graduates remain at the forefront of digital transformation.

“Through UiPath Academic Alliance status, Belgium Campus iTversity reinforces its commitment to providing internationally recognised IT education,” concludes Zaaiman.
