The Academy will offer self-paced online courses in high-demand fields such as AI, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Networking, and Software Development. Learners will earn dual certification from both OUK and Huawei enhancing their job prospects and entrepreneurial potential, especially for youth in underserved areas.

The initiative also supports digital health transformation through Equity Group Foundation programs, including telemedicine services for remote and underserved communities. These efforts are part of Equity’s broader Creating Shared Value (CSV) strategy.
“We’re expanding access to global tech skills for youth who might otherwise be left behind,” said Dr. James Mwangi, OUK Chancellor and Executive Chairman of Equity Group Foundation. “This partnership helps us build an inclusive workforce ready to shape Kenya’s future.”
OUK Vice Chancellor Prof. Elijah Omwenga added: “Hosting the Academy at Kenya’s first digital-first university fits our mission to democratize education. Together with Huawei and Equity, we’re opening new doors for learners nationwide.”
This partnership brings together academic, industry, and development leaders to build a scalable and inclusive model for digital skills training. It blends innovation, education, and social investment to accelerate Kenya’s shift toward a knowledge-based economy.
