The MiDO Academy will officially launch on Thursday, 6 March 2025, at The Capitol 15 on Orange Hotel in Cape Town.
The MiDO Academy, founded by Dale Simons, CEO of MiDO Technologies, and Anna Collard, SVP Content Strategy and Evangelist Africa at KnowBe4, is based in Stellenbosch, aims to equip young individuals from underserved communities with vital cybersecurity and professional skills, creating sustainable career pathways in the digital economy.
The MiDO Academy was selected as a participant in the Africa Cyber Programme led by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the UK Government.
“The global cybersecurity skills gap presents both a challenge and an opportunity. At MiDO Academy, we are not just training students; we are empowering them with the knowledge and practical experience needed to thrive in the industry,” says Dale Simons, CEO and co-founder of MiDO Academy.
“By providing young people with access to high-quality education and career opportunities, we are breaking barriers and building a more secure digital future for all.”
