The Digital Skills for Entrepreneurs (DSE) course offers more than mere training—it serves as a pathway to digital transformation for businesses led by women and youth in Nigeria. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) account for 96% of businesses and nearly 75% of employment in Nigeria; however, many—particularly those owned and operated by women—lack the necessary digital skills for scaling.
