Huawei has announced that in its first year, the DigiTruck trained more than 1,500 youth on digital skills across 13 locations in 10 counties as it travels around the country.
Following the successful 1st year and the tremendous support it has had from national agencies, county governments as well as implementation partners, Huawei will support the DigiTruck for a 2nd year as it moves around the country.
The announcement was made on Wednesday when the DigiTruck arrived in Kitui to start four weeks of digital skills training for youth helping them do business and work online.
It arrived from Nyeri where ICT CS Joe Mucheru presided over the graduation of 100 youth and thanked Huawei and the National Youth Council for making sure the youth across Kenya received digital skills training:
“We are thankful to the partners we have; CFSK and Huawei, helping us bring connectivity across the country even to our youth,” Mucherus said.
Digital equity and workforce development are essential if everyone is to participate in the digital economy.
