The Government of Ghana has launched a ‘re/START’ initiative to train 10,000 young people in emerging technology. Application opens on 14th November 2023 for the other 6 trainings
What is the “re/START” Initiative?
re/Start is an AWS digital skills programme collaborated between Smart Africa Digital Academy (SADA) and the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation. With the support of the World Bank, the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (GI-KACE) is hosting some of the training in Accra, Sunyani, Kumasi and Bolga.
The “re/START” initiative would focus on youth, unemployed or underemployed individuals, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and furlough workers, with or without a technology background; by providing the necessary skills that would lead to career paths in emerging technologies; including, but not limited to cloud computing, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
The re/Start initiative is in line with the Government of Ghana’s agenda to equip the working force with 21st-century skills to create businesses as well as source for jobs in emerging technologies.
