ERICSSON RAISES THE STAKES WITH NEW E-LEARNING ACADEMY
Thousands of youths who have been locked out of IT institutions due to a lack of fees can now gain the skills they want free of charge thanks to an online academy run by Ericsson and Harvard University. The academy, which was previously only available to Ericsson’s employees, features content developed by the firm and online lectures from renowned professors of Harvard Business School. Through Ericsson Academy, users can access online courses, lectures and tutorials via interactive webinars created by Ericsson experts and learn more about ICT at no cost. With the current stable telecommunication network in the country, experts say many students with basic IT skills will most likely opt for Ericsson’s offer.
