In a bid to address the pervasive skill mismatch, Geez Education & Training Plc (GET) has allied with International financial and management institutions to bridge the gap. Three international institutions, the Global Academy of Finance & Management (GAFM), the American Academy of Project Management (AAPM), and California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH), have entered into a cooperation with GET at an event held last week at Skylight Hotel. Officials believe the move will contribute to human resource capacity and address critical skill gaps in the finance, management, and STEM sectors. The agreement will provide access to over 275 globally recognized courses in fields such as finance, data science, and cybersecurity with degree programs tailored to stock exchange and finance programs. With a population of approximately 120 million people, Ethiopia faces substantial obstacles in creating decent job opportunities. Despite experiencing decent annual economic growth, the country has struggled to match this progress with job creation, according to an International Growth Centre (IGC) report. Unemployment rates, particularly among women and youth, remain high, with nearly a quarter of young people and a third of young women in urban areas unemployed.
