An Microsoft initiative to train unemployed young people in IT has been given funding to expand in South Africa.
The Development Bank of South Africa (BDSA) has awarded Microsoft South Africa a R145m ($15m) grant to invest in its Student2Business training scheme, which the software company will match with a similar investment from its 4Afrika program.
The company claims that the total R290m funding will get 3,000 unemployed youngsters into work over the next three years.
