This initiative will provide a thousand learners across Sub-Saharan Africa specifically South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria with the opportunity to participate in the “Google IT Support professional certificate”. These learners will receive additional life skills training that will make them more sought after in the current job market and secure future job placement in entry-level positions for IT and technical industries.
