Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has announced a bold initiative to equip 1 million Ghanaian youth with digital skills, emphasizing the vast job opportunities available in the digital world that do not require traditional certificates.
According to Dr. Bawumia, the focus on digital skills training is aimed at empowering young Ghanaians to tap into the global digital economy, where they can work remotely for companies in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom from the comfort of their own homes in Ghana.
“The digital world offers countless job opportunities that require only basic literacy skills, such as reading and writing,” Dr. Bawumia explained. “Our goal is to train 1 million youth in these skills, enabling them to access employment opportunities globally.”
This initiative is part of Dr. Bawumia’s broader vision to address youth unemployment and harness the potential of Ghana’s human capital. By bridging the digital skills gap, he believes Ghana can unlock new avenues for economic growth and development.
