Advertorial: MTN Foundation
The Skills Academy was developed in response to systemic barriers, especially for youth in underserved and rural communities, where access to digital education is often hindered by high data costs, lack of devices, and low-bandwidth infrastructure. By allowing learners to upskill remotely, the Academy eliminates the need to travel to urban centres, making learning more accessible.
The curriculum, developed in collaboration with leading industry experts, ensures learners are equipped with relevant, up-to-date knowledge. And crucially, it addresses not just the“ what” of learning but the“ what next”. One of the key barriers facing youth is the gap between training and real-world employment.
To close this gap, MTN’ s programme includes work readiness training, entrepreneurship development, and opportunities for practical experience. This ensures that graduates are not only qualified but also prepared to transition into the workforce.
Digital literacy is no longer a luxury – it’ s a necessity. MTN’ s Digital Skills for Digital Jobs and Skills Academy initiatives are more than training programmes; they are vehicles for social change. They reflect the MTN Foundation ' s deep commitment to meaningful social impact, demonstrating how targeted corporate investment can translate into tangible outcomes in employment and empowerment.
Ultimately, this work aligns with MTN’ s broader goal: to create opportunities for all Africans to thrive in a modern, connected world.
