🚀 Digital Skills to Succeed! 🌐 In today's fast-paced digital world, the World Economic Forum highlights a crucial fact: 54% of the global workforce needs digital skills to meet industry demands. In #Asia, 92% of young graduates in Bangladesh, 66.3% in India, and 70% in VietNam lack essential digital skills, leaving many unprepared for the rapidly changing job market. To address this issue, we are excited to introduce the Digital Skills to Succeed in Asia (DS2S) project, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Our mission: empower young university students in #Bangladesh, #India, and #VietNam with practical, job-relevant digital skills and ethical awareness for responsible technology use. Here's how we are making an impact: 🌐 Digital Skills Network & Country Hubs: Creating platforms for lateral learning and best practice exchanges among universities and private sector partners. 🏅 Faculty Enhancement: Equipping educators with cutting-edge digital competencies and innovative teaching methods. 📚 Short Courses & Micro-Credentials: Offering globally recognised, challenge-based courses in artificial intelligence (#AI), #Data, and #DigitalEntrepreneurship, designed in collaboration with German universities and private sector partners. Together with universities, private sector partners, research institutes, and government agencies, we are fostering a brighter future for young professionals in the digital era. Join us in supporting the next generation of digital leaders! 💪🌏🌟 Ready to bridge the #digitaldivide? Connect with us and be part of the change!
