The 'Million Coders' program seeks to educate young individuals in 25 nations with fundamental Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills, educating them to pursue a career in the rapidly growing technology industry. The initiative intends to break down employment barriers while offering young people the opportunity to succeed in employment given the predicted increase in demand for artificial intelligence professionals and the creation of an anticipated 97 million jobs by 2030.
“The ‘Million Coders’ Scholarship program focuses on empowering one million young individuals worldwide with vital Python programming skills. Python’s clear benefits and its position as one of the leading programming languages globally have made it crucial for the job market.
