The Ministry of Communication is set to launch the One Million Coders Programme to train one million young Gha­naians in digital skills.

The move is to empower them to thrive in the rapidly growing Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Knowledge Process Out­sourcing (KPO) sectors.

The pilot-test of the pro­gramme to be launched on April 16 will cover Greater Accra, Ashanti, Bono, and Upper East regions.

The Minister of Commu­nication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Mr Sam George, said this at a media briefing in Accra yesterday as part of his quarterly updates on progress of work at the Ministry.
