FinTech Silicon Valley Jobs

Microsoft Partnering to tackle unemployment through digital skills development

In the three months since its launch, the initiative has reached 10 million engaged learners in 231 countries – and more than 83 000 in South Africa. So far, Software Developer, Customer Service Specialist, and Data Analyst have emerged as the most popular and in-demand learning paths.
