U.S. tech giant Google plans to help alleviate unemployment in Africa by giving free training to 1 million young Africans in
digital skills in the next 12 months, the company said in a press conference in Johannesburg. In South Africa, where 35 percent of 15-to-34-year-olds are unemployed, Google plans to train 300,000 people within the next year, according to Bloomberg. Another 400,000 Nigerians and 200,000 Kenyans will receive free digital training, while 100,000 people will be selected from other sub-Saharan Africa countries.
