Bursary Success Story - Ayesha Connelly
A Capitec Bursary propelled my career to new heights.?
Pursuing a BCom degree majoring in IT and Risk Management through a bursary in 2021 was a pivotal moment propelling my career to new heights.?
My journey with Capitec has been nothing short of transformative. Since 2016, I’ve been a part of the bank’s evolution, starting in Service Admin and eventually finding my niche as a Specialist in Digital Forensics. With help from Capitec, I completed my degree in 2023.??

Tell us more about what inspired you to enter the field of studies and how the bursary helped you achieve your career goals.?
My journey into IT and risk management started with a love for technology and a growing recognition of the importance of security, particularly within digital banking platforms. While my passion for technology has always been clear, adding to this, the pressing need for robust security measures further motivated my interest in risk management.?
?
Even though I couldn’t pursue formal studies on my own at first, Capitec stepped in to support me through the internal bursary program.??

Studying IT was like a dream come true, opening doors I couldn’t have imagined. The next big step was joining the app team. I put theory to practice and worked on some cool projects, such as contributing to the annual competitor analysis and providing insights to our development teams, which resulted in a better client experience.??

After completing my degree, I was well-equipped to land a role in Digital Forensics- I was ready for it. The bursary helped me achieve my academic goals and take my career to a new level.?
