Bridgia, which connects African higher institutions to the industry to drive innovation and student skill development, has announced it has joined the Google for Education Integrated Solutions Initiative.
The call for higher education; to be more responsive to industry needs is a global one.
It is evident in the increased industry demand for graduates with innovation and technology skills. Industry linkage offices such as Career Services in most African universities typically lack access to digital resources and supporting services to support their objectives.
Google for Education Partners are a select group of companies recognised for their capabilities to deliver digital services to students and educators. Bridgia, focused on Africa, is now among this group of partners. Bridgia’s platform provides industry insights, resources, and programmes to make the industry more accessible to Africa’s Higher Institutions.
Segun Ogunwale, Co-Founder/CEO of Bridgia, commented: “We are delighted to progress from being a Google Cloud Partner to a member of the Google Education Integrated Initiative.
“This collaboration provides us more opportunities to leverage Google for Education’s resources and reach to provide easy access to the Bridgia’s platform for students, faculty, and staff members in Africa’s higher institutions.”
