Mr Duus said this makes RPA an area with the growing need of expertise across the world.
The e-learning programme seeks to develop RPA skills while solving the issues of gender disparity in technology and innovation.
African Elite Group will provide support to trainees whose digital business ideas will be supported by a mentorship programme in collaboration with its regional network of digital technology partners.
The boutique PR and tech agency will hunt for talented candidates who can benefit from the programme and the training will be conducted in r cohorts.
“The commitment by Servicetrace to Africa will allow to skill up ICT technology graduates and mobilize them faster for growing demand in Africa,” said Elite Group founder and chief executive Lucia Musau.
She added the plan under the training services agreement is also to close the gender gap in technology where females remain underrepresented.
The young graduates will be equipped with technical and soft skills to prepare them for the demands of the global market and help them to find jobs.
