MTN Uganda has graduated 503 young people under its MTN Ace digital skilling initiative, equipping them with practical skills in ICT, digital marketing, e-commerce, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
The hybrid programme aims to help young people turn digital knowledge into business opportunities, innovations and community solutions, rather than focusing solely on certification.
MTN Uganda Foundation Board Chairman Dr. William Egaddu said connectivity must be complemented by the knowledge and skills needed to take advantage of digital opportunities.
With the latest cohort, the MTN Ace initiative has now trained 1,191 young people in practical digital skills.
The initiative forms part of MTN Uganda’s broader commitment to youth empowerment, digital inclusion and the development of Uganda’s digital economy.
