Microsoft launches initiative to help 25 million people worldwide acquire the digital skills needed in a COVID-19 economy

By Emma Coalition

According to its Official Blog, Microsoft is launching a global skills initiative aimed at bringing more digital skills to 25 million people worldwide by the end of the year. This initiative will bring together every part of Microsoft’s company combining existing and new resources from LinkedIn, GitHub, and Microsoft.  It will be grounded in three areas of activity:

  1. The use of data to identify in-demand jobs and the skills needed to fill them;
  2. Free access to learning paths and content to help people develop the skills these positions require;
  3. Low-cost certifications and free job-seeking tools to help people who develop these skills pursue new jobs.
