Delivered in partnership with GIZ and Amazon Web Services (AWS), this programme equipped 60 unemployed and underemployed young women with in-demand digital and cloud computing skills to strengthen their employability and income-generating potential.
Running from March to October 2022, the intensive 12-week programme combined virtual and in-person learning through the AWS re/Start initiative, delivering:
- Technical digital and cloud computing skills
- Soft skills development and mentorship from AWS professionals
- Industry certification pathways
- Work placements and continued post-training support
By building job-readiness, entrepreneurial capability, and digital confidence, the programme created real pathways into the digital economy, advancing gender inclusion in South Africa’s technology sector.
