In collaboration with the Girls in Tech (WiT) South Africa Chapter and Amazon Net Providers (AWS), Absa has efficiently upskilled 50 younger ladies via the #LiveToLearn Programme, specializing in constructing careers in cloud know-how.
The individuals earned the globally acknowledged AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, enhancing their employability within the IT business. The commencement ceremony, held on December 8, 2023, celebrated the accomplishments of the ladies who accomplished the three-month program on the AWS Abilities Centre in Cape City.
The initiative aligns with Absa’s dedication to gender variety and AWS’s purpose to coach 29 million folks by 2025, addressing the shortage of cloud abilities.
This program is a major step in the direction of WiT’s mission of empowering 5 million ladies and ladies by 2030, bridging the gender hole in STEAM fields. The #LiveToLearn initiative serves as a mannequin for addressing the distinctive wants and challenges within the tech business, providing ladies with IT backgrounds a chance to amass specialised cloud abilities.
