The launch of these resources falls in line with Facebook’s commitment to training business owners across Africa and equipping people with the skills they need to thrive in the modern digital workplace. The new and improved Facebook career resources are as follows:
People can sign up to share information about what they’re offering or looking for, and then others in the Group can browse a list of those available people to find a match and reach out directly. Each week the tool gives pairs helpful prompts to keep the conversation going.
Says Emilar Gandhi, public policy manager, SADC Region Facebook: “Together with partners such as Livity and Digify, we are training thousands of people in Africa with the digital skills they need to compete in the modern workplace. With our updated career resources, we are furthering this commitment, helping people access new career opportunities and upgrade their digital skills.”
