GoMyCode Kenya Launches Corporate AI Upskilling to Bridge Digital Skills Gap
NAIROBI, Kenya – In a strategic move to address a critical market need, digital education leader GoMyCode Kenya has launched a new corporate training program focused exclusively on artificial intelligence (up)skilling. The initiative, announced in Nairobi, is designed to partner with companies across sectors to rapidly equip their employees with practical AI competencies, directly responding to the accelerating adoption of AI tools in the Kenyan workplace and the resulting skills shortage.
The comprehensive program is structured to move beyond theoretical knowledge, offering hands-on training in applied AI domains that are immediately relevant to business operations. Key modules include process automation with AI tools, data analysis and interpretation for decision-making, and the fundamentals of implementing AI-driven customer service solutions. The curriculum was developed in consultation with industry leaders to ensure it tackles specific operational challenges faced by Kenyan businesses in finance, retail, and logistics, enabling employees to leverage AI for efficiency and innovation from day one.
The corporate sector has responded with significant interest. The pace of technological change is relentless. This program provides a structured pathway for our workforce to not just adapt, but to lead in an AI-augmented environment, stated a Human Resources director from a participating financial institution. Many companies see this as a vital alternative to the costly and competitive process of hiring scarce, ready-made AI talent, opting instead to invest in and retain their existing personnel by future-proofing their skills.
The long-term vision for the initiative is to create a cascading effect on the national economy. By systematically upskilling the corporate workforce, GoMyCode aims to enhance the overall competitiveness of Kenyan businesses, making them more efficient and data-driven. This large-scale upskilling is expected to accelerate the integration of AI across industries, foster a culture of continuous learning, and solidify Kenya’s standing as a hub for tech-enabled talent in Africa, ultimately bridging the digital skills gap from within the corporate structure itself.
