Ericsson Expands Digital Skills Training in Morocco Through University Partnerships

The idea of the program is to offer young talents in Morocco learning and career development opportunities, according to a company press release which states that the project is part of Ericsson’s #AfricaInMotion campaign, which aims to accelerate digital inclusion and adoption across the continent.

In this context, Ericsson will notably provide students with training and mentoring through industry specialists, as well as access to Ericsson Educate, a digital skills portal developed by Ericsson during the pandemic.

The program includes various learning paths tailored to the educational needs of the target students, and offers online courses in the fields of 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

"... Through our partnerships with universities in Morocco, we aim to demonstrate the potential of technology to enable smart learning methods and contribute to the efficiency of education. As a pioneer of cellular technology and with a heritage of over a century in the industry, we are committed to providing educational institutions across the continent with our expertise, knowledge and solutions to help Africa train its future technology leaders," said Nora Wahby, Vice President and Director of Morocco and West Africa at Ericsson.
