ICT Authority and Amazon to Train 10,000 University Students in Kenya

The ICT Authority of Kenya and Amazon are going to be giving training on cloud to 10,000 university students using the AWS Academy.

The program we are announcing today with AWS aims to bridge this gap between academia and industry. We are very excited to roll this out and look forward to further expanding the opportunity to students in other tertiary institutions.

The overall objective of this program is to have more individuals that have job-ready skills needed in the workplace and eventually support the Government of Kenya in realizing a digitally enabled society which is a key outcome in ICT Digital Masterplan 2022-2032.
