IIPGH collaborates with Vodafone to train 1000 young girls in digital skills

As part of promoting gender diversity and inclusion in Ghana’s tech space, the Institute of ICT Professionals, Ghana (IIPGH) with its partners have implemented several female-oriented initiatives, including its recent collaboration with Vodafone Ghana, to introduce computer programming to one thousand girls (1000) across Ghana, dubbed the Code Like a Girl Program (#CodeLikeAGirl).

The Code Like a Girl program is an initiative launched by Vodafone and aims to provide young females with digital skills training, mentorship, and networking opportunities.

Since its launch, the Code Like a Girl program has trained several females in digital skills.

In April 2023, the Institute of ICT Professionals, Ghana (IIPGH) in partnership with Vodafone Ghana trained 1000 girls aged between 7 to 18 years in digital skills.

The partnership was a significant step forward in promoting gender diversity and inclusion, as it provided young girls with access to digital skills training that might otherwise have been out of reach!

The Code Like a Girl program is promoting females to take learning and opportunities in digital skills and emerging technologies – the very essence of IIPGH focusing on younger ages (early start)

As digital skills become more relevant than ever, it is just right that females are not left out in this male-dominated space.
