"Our research reveals a critical gap in #technology adoption among #businesses. Despite recognizing its importance for streamlining operations, many are slow to fully embrace it. Urgent action is needed to train businesses in digital skills and tool utilization.
We are currently attending a 3-day strategy planning workshop as part of our membership in the @Trans4m_Health coalition.
Recognizing the key role young people play in shaping the digital health agenda, we are keen on meaningfully representing youth priorities.

#ResearchFindinWe also established that more young people are opting for entrepreneurship as a viable career opportunity.
There is therefore need to provide necessary support for their businesses to thrive.

Research shows a #gender gap in #business tech use: fewer women adopt tech compared to men. Barriers like access, training, and cultural norms need addressing. Bridging this gap is crucial for inclusivity and diversity in tech. #GenderGap #TechInclusion
With this era of #digital #transformation, there is need to ensure that young people are well empowered with the skill to harness the opportunities.
We captured action photos of our Next Step Program participants working on their projects
