Tech giant Google says it plans on training 10 million Africans in the next five years in avid to make them empowered for employment, this was contained in a speech given by Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, at the "Google For Nigeria" event held in Lagos today Thursday, 27th of July, 2017.

This pledge by Google marks a further expansion of an initiative that it launched in April 2016 to train young Africans in digital skills. In March the company announced that it had reached its initial target of training one million people.
The company is "committing to prepare another 10 million people for jobs of the future in the next five years," Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai told a company conference in Nigeria's commercial capital of Lagos.
Google said it will offer a combination of in-person and online training. Google has said on its blog that it carries out the training in languages including Swahili, Hausa and Zulu and tries to ensure that at least 40 percent of people trained are women. However, it wasn't stated whether the training would be free or how much it would cost.

The U.S. technology giant also hopes to train 100,000 software developers in Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa, a company spokeswoman said.
