Digital skills matter. So do the pathways that put them to work.
Across Africa, millions of young people are acquiring digital skills. But a critical question remains: what does it actually take for those skills to translate into dignified and fulfilling work?
Is it education, entrepreneurship, mentorship, practical work experience or financial inclusion? Or is it the ecosystem that connects all of these together?
This special edition of #EdTechMondaysAfrica, recorded at the Young Africa Works Summit in Kigali, brings together leaders and young changemakers to explore how Africa can build stronger pathways from learning to earning.
