The 1,000 scholarships for the Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Career Certificate will help small businesses across Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa learn how to leverage digital marketing strategies and e-commerce to sell online.
Africa’s growing technology ecosystem offers opportunities to create digital solutions that make traditional ways of working more productive, while enabling the creation of new income streams and job opportunities. However, employers across the continent state that many job seekers do not possess the requisite digital skills, limiting employability prospects and business growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has also driven home the importance of digital tools and skills. In its wake, the most successful businesses were those whose operating model and employees could easily navigate the crisis and transition to digital service delivery. As Google partner for Nigeria, We congratulate our Cohort 2 scholarship recipients, and we’re very happy to be on this value-adding journey with you all. We appreciate your participation and are excited by the feedback we have received so far.
