Microsoft and Pan-African technology company Cassava Technologies are partnering to establish renewable energy training hubs in Cape Town and Johannesburg with focus on skills development in clean energy technologies for youth and women in local communities.
The training initiative will cover renewable energy development, energy efficiency and community micro grids. The hubs form part of a broader community engagement programme to drive employment across South Africa and, eventually, other African markets.
Cassava Technologies will deliver the programme through its renewable energy and co-location businesses, leveraging its local infrastructure expertise to link training with real-world projects and clean energy job creation.
“We are honoured to collaborate with Microsoft on this project, which ensures that we bring all Africans along as we transition to a digitally connected future using sustainable energy,” said Finhai Munzara, Chief Corporate Development Officer for Cassava Technologies.
