We live in a world where new technologies play an increasingly important role across the economy and society; businesses need to continually update their workers skills in order to remain competitive, and individuals need to keep up to date with the changing digital landscape. In order to achieve this it is crucial that everyone has the digital skills they need to fully participate in society. Whether this be the basic digital skills people need to maximise lifes opportunities, the general digital skills increasingly needed in almost every job, or the specialist knowledge for particular technical roles.
Absa Bank Ghana Limited is part of Absa Group Limited, an African financial services group that aims to be the pride of the continent.

The West Africa Regional Corporate Director, Mrs. Ellen Ohene-Afoakwa said in a short ceremony that the bank intends shaping our way of learning because of the hefty impact of Covid-19 on our learning.
She also stressed on the banks resolve and commitment to contribute its quota to education in the country.
Absa, as a bank has expressed its interest to developing the Ghanaian society through digitalization.
She further stated:
“As a digitally-led bank with an African heartbeat, Absa is passionate about the education and digital skills development of young people hence the need for us to contribute our quota to the promotion of digital literacy and inclusion in Ghana”.
Digital skills are key to improving productivity, especially in those most excluded parts of the country, often outside urban centres, and are an essential ingredient to help the Government and industry deliver the Industrial Strategy. If we can crack the system to help raise levels of digital skills across the country this will be a great step in driving up opportunities and production throughout the country.
