About this event

Join us for a conversion with Lethabo Sekhu, Co-founder & COO of Credipple.

How is AI changing the way companies find, assess and develop talent?

As technology continues to reshape the workplace, businesses are having to rethink how they identify skills, evaluate potential and build teams. At the same time, professionals and entrepreneurs are navigating a rapidly changing skills landscape where the way we work and the opportunities available to us are evolving.

In this fireside chat, we’ll explore the future of work and the role that AI and technology will play in shaping talent, hiring and workforce development. We’ll unpack what these changes mean for businesses, founders and professionals, and look at the opportunities and challenges that come with a more technology driven world of work.

We’ll also explore the journey behind building Credipple, the lessons learned along the way, and how the company is approaching some of the challenges and opportunities emerging at the intersection of talent, technology and AI.

Come for connections, networking and learning.

This event is hosted in partnership and collaboration with our great partners at MTN.
