From digital literacy to online entrepreneurship

Konexio links highly vulnerable participants to digital employment through its train-the-trainer model, tailored upskilling curriculum, and continuous program engagement. 

 

The Digital Inclusion Program (DIP) is a six-month program that teaches students to earn an income via digital freelancing. A combination of theory and practice, students begin earning after three months. The curriculum provides training on both job-specific digital skills and digital freelance business opportunities. Through the program, the learners receive support in overcoming administrative barriers, such as ID verification and access to financial services.
