The 2024 leg of the programme comes with a newly re-imagined roll-out plan, taking participants on a three-level progressive journey, starting with a foundational phase, then an intermediate and advanced phase, each meticulously designed to equip participants with practical expertise to set them up for self-sustaining digital careers.
