One Million Coders Programme to create 100,000 digital jobs – Sam George

The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has announced plans to create 100,000 digitally enabled jobs over the next two years as the government shifts the focus of its One Million Coders Programme from skills training to employment opportunities.

The minister expressed confidence that the expanded approach, together with intensified public education and outreach, would help the programme achieve its target of training one million Ghanaians within the government’s four-year term.

The minister disclosed this when he addressed the media at the end of the first day of his two days working tour of the Ashanti Region to inspect ongoing and completed projects under his ministry and assess the implementation of key government policies.
