Why digital skills are critical?
Google announced that over 500 000 young Africans have been trained on digital skills through its Digital Skills Africa
program. The Digital Skills program was announced in April when Google committed to train one million people across the
continent on digital skills within a year. Six months later, Google has reached the halfway mark. The announcement was
made alongside the launch of its online training portal for Africa. The online portal offers 89 courses in three languages.
