Overview
Creating opportunities for women and youth aged 19-24 years, from disadvantaged communities in Kenya to pursue careers in computer science and computer science-driven fields. The program is premised on the fact that digital skills are essential in opening the door to a wide range of opportunities in the 21st century. According to a labor market study by the World Bank in 2013, computer science education skills are transforming the world of work. This is by creating new job opportunities and making labor markets more innovative, inclusive, and global.
Program Aims
Throughout the program, participants were trained in database development and supported in connecting their database with the mobile app developed. Resources on the Microsoft app studio enabled participants to upload their own data or store it in the Cloud. In addition, students also had the option of enrolling in the Microsoft Imagine Academy where they are required to do self-studies on the online module. Upon successful completion, the participants are awarded Microsoft certifications in computer science courses of their choice; and placed on jobs/internship and digital employment opportunities.
