MTN Uganda has trained 407 learners, mainly young people and women from Pader and Lamwo districts, in digital and financial literacy through its MTN Internet Bus programme.
The graduates completed a three-week training programme, which culminated in a ceremony at Angagura Subcounty Headquarters in Pader. The initiative aims to equip participants with practical skills to use digital devices, access information, manage finances, pursue employment opportunities and support business growth.
The programme is implemented through the MTN Uganda Foundation in partnership with Maendeleo Foundation. It brings digital learning directly to communities where access to technology and training may be limited by distance and cost.
According to MTN Uganda, the Internet Bus programme has trained more than 7,000 people since 2022, with a completion rate exceeding 90%. The latest graduation marks another milestone in the programme’s sixth phase, following a ceremony at Makerere Kikoni in September.
MTN Uganda said graduates can continue developing their skills through the free online MTN Skills Academy and explore further opportunities through MTN ACE.
The initiative forms part of the company’s efforts to advance digital inclusion by expanding access to technology education and equipping more Ugandans with skills to benefit from digital services and economic opportunities.
