Today, Wednesday August 28th 2024, MTN and MoMo from MTN UG are proud to announce the partnership with Uganda Christian University (UCU) to empower Uganda’s youth with vital digital skills.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in shared mission to equip young Ugandans with the tools they need to excel in the digital age.
“As we signed the Memorandum of Understanding, we were joined by key leaders, including David Mugawe, Vice-Chancellor of UCU, and Stephen Mutana, Chief Strategy and Stakeholder Officer at MTN Mobile Money Uganda Ltd. Together, we’re integrating the MTN Skills Academy into UCU’s curriculum, specifically within the Foundational Basic Computing unit, to ensure students receive hands-on digital training.”
The MTN Skills Academy, part of our broader Digital Skills for Digital Jobs initiative, has already seen over 1,420 youth enroll since its launch in Uganda. This program addresses the gap between digital skills and employment opportunities, aiming to create real change.
“We’re also excited to expand our ongoing initiatives, like the MTN ACE program and the MTN Internet Bus, which further enhance digital literacy across the country.”
“Our partnership with UCU is a testament to the power of collaboration between the private sector and educational institutions in driving meaningful change.”
A special thank you to Nelson Munyanda, Manager at #MTNFoundation; VINCENT KISENYI, Dean of the School of Business and Administration at UCU; and Martin Kabanda, UCU’s Manager in charge of E-learning, for their invaluable contributions to this initiative. Together, we are paving the way for a brighter, opportunity-filled future for Uganda’s youth.
