What's it about?
In our digital world, it is critical to equip women with the skills they need to succeed in a changing job market.... The Women Going Digital course provides a platform for women, multipliers and NGOs to gain valuable digital skills and tools. The course includes 16 cross-cutting topics covering various aspects of digitalisation and digital transformation. From introducing the basics of digitalisation to exploring new technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, this course offers a multi-faceted learning experience. Each topic has been carefully designed to address current and relevant issues of the digital age.
