About Us
Black Ubuntu Technologies is a social impact technology company
We are a technology company that believes in putting science at the service of humanity, we aim to make tertiary education accessible and more affordable for students in Africa. Black Ubuntu technologies goes beyond academic solutions, we have a track record of using technology to improve access to education, and our learning methodologies help young people uncover their unique gifts and equip them to discover and achieve their purpose in life.
Black Ubuntu Technologies (known as BU, which signifies the inner-self calling for authenticity to “Be you”) is the evolution of The Student Hub. Where The Student Hub was an educational platform that makes tertiary education accessible to students across South Africa, BU will go beyond those offerings, adding technology for employers and educational institutions to improve job placement, ongoing skills assessments or training, and student funding.
Make our values a part of your educational journey:
Be good Serve others Be who you are meant to be
Africa’s unemployment crisis, solved.
Our goal is to build technology that makes the ecosystem work. This is why we offer a range of technology and services to educational institutions, employers and other stakeholders in the education sector that contributes to the holistic success of students.
