Orange Digital Center is launching a free
high-level certification training program in partnership with Coursera, the
world leader in online learning. This partnership aims to offer young people in
Africa and the Middle East the opportunity to acquire essential skills in
digital professions, free of charge and at their own pace.
The Orange Digital Center (ODC) network is
driving digital inclusion for young people and entrepreneurs across Africa and
the Middle East through its 16 centers. It is launching this initiative to
provide young people in the region with key skills in essential areas such as
artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and
entrepreneurship. These programs are designed to meet the needs of the
ever-evolving job market, providing talented young people with the knowledge and
skills they need to enter the job market, develop their careers, or encourage
them to become digital entrepreneurs.
Orange Digital Centers are physical structures
designed to be hubs of innovation and learning, free and open to all, providing
a dynamic environment where young people can develop their skills, explore new
technologies, and stimulate their creativity.
Equipped with the latest technologies, they support
young people throughout the entire technological innovation and
entrepreneurship value chain.
Asma Ennaifer,
Executive Director CSR, Orange Digital Centers and Communication, Orange Africa
and Middle East, says: "At Orange, we
firmly believe that digital inclusion is the key to creating a fairer and more
prosperous future for everyone. In partnership with Coursera and through the
Orange Digital Centers, we are opening the doors of certification training to
all our beneficiaries, offering educational and professional development
opportunities to those who need them most.”
