African Leadership International on bridging the digital skills gap

A deal to upskill the next generation of software engineers from Africa that will help plug the global shortage of technology talent is in the making. On Friday, African Leadership International said it expects its acquisition of Silicon Valley’s Holberton College to get wrapped up in the third quarter. The acquisition will give ALI ownership of the advanced technology program that will enable it to provide global organizations access to a significant untapped workforce from the continent.
