I don’t know a lot about the BCS but from their website, I can see that they offer three qualification levels: The average salaries are really too low here. Technically speaking, ADSL is as expensive there except that the French government is forced (by law) to subsidise most of the price (so that the French living in Reunion are not penalised compared to the French living, say, in Paris).īut I have to agree with you, technology (in general) is expensive in Mauritius. We cannot compare ourselves with Reunion island. Someone has to pay for the millions invested by MT. Personally, I understand the reason why ADSL is expensive here. It’s the job of the teacher (or lecturer) to make the student aware of what he/she is capable of doing. they are not aware of their potential and, as a result, tend to limit themselves to “easy” things). They have potential but they need guidance. Mauritian students are like most students elsewhere. Do you have any academic qualification in Computer Science? It is important (in my opinion) to have one, especially in Mauritius, as many jobs are only accessible to undergrads or even graduate students…
CYBERTOWN PA PROFESSIONAL
Professional qualifications are very important and are obviously recognised here. Ps: Thanks you for giving us your time & advice.Great site!!!!!!! What the hell? Safe is cheaper now!!! If mauritian people are not given facilities to be exposed on new tech, surely this government is not empowering its students to become “outstanding Pros” Mauritius Telecom is ranked 12th in the world for telecommunication but we pay Rs1000 for 128kbps and in our sister island they get 24Mbps for approx Rs 650. Is BCS well recognised here? And what about professional qualifications like Comptia,MCSE and Cisco?Ĭoncerning the main subject of this forum, in my opinion, students in mauritius are too academic, they learn just to pass the exams and get the degree.thats all!! We need passionate people that’ll invest their selves in what they are doing and maybe we’ll move one step of the ladder to silicone valley.Īnother thing is exposure to technology. I just want some advise from you for what I’m doing. I’m planning to complete “British Computer Society’ degree as well as Comptia A+,N+ and MCSE. I actually work in a bank and I’m planning to move in the IT world. Which I also believe but I think a programmer should be an artist at heart to come up with intelligent solutions I guess the interviewers expected me to say that its an engineering thing and has to comply with rules etc. Though I think I messed up by saying so in an interview a some years back. As usual they will underestimate the capabilities of “third world” people but its up to us to perform beyond expectations earn their trust.Īs for a programmer being an artist I share your views :-). But there comes a time when the foreign designers trust your capability and judgement and give you only a high level requirements spec and leave the detailed design and implementation to you. Indeed many companies get their specs from UK or France and do the coding here.
I also believe that you can’t work very long hours on programming but what I meant was that when you’re the IT person supporting an operation you have to be able to think above the crowd and provide intelligent solutions. Other than wanting to invest in the Tourist industry…… Any I bet, there arent many VCs in Mauritius…. to build an entrepreneurial community – I wonder how that is going (the UK has something similar) I was thinking possibly of moving over to the Cybercity with my idea – its a hardware product – maybe being closer to the east I can have better links with possible manufacturers and at the same time help the Mauritian ecomony grow – just look at what India is doing with Bangalore! I hear there are Shell LiveWire competitions etc.
CYBERTOWN PA SOFTWARE
I have always been interested in the Cybercity – I actually tried to apply for a software position at one of the companies there (its a french company), but my french isnt too good (I mostly speak english and can’t understand a word of Hindi other than Namaste!). I have studied that from 2006 the technology adoption lifecycle is yet to grow to 2016 (10 year cycles- its been at a low). Its hard for start up companies to seek investment as VCs are concentrating existing companies for growth. At the moment I am an entrepreneur in Scotland’s ‘Silicon Glen’ – the situation isnt any better. I am hoping one day to move to Mauritius, where all my family are. I am Scottish citizen with Mauritian parents.
