Google commits to training 1m people in Africa in 12 months

Google, in partnership with Livity Africa, has committed to upgrading the digital skills of some one-million people across Africa over the next 12 months by expanding its Digify digital training initiative onto a free-of-charge online training platform. DigifyAfrica.com currently had nine online “data-light” digital skills courses available to anyone in South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya, with plans to grow the portfolio of choices to 50 by June and expanding its reach into other African countries.
