00:24 and a great opportunity for the digitally savvy.
00:28 Experts predicted that technology and automation would cause the global workforce
00:34 to lose two-thirds of traditional white-collar jobs in the coming years.
00:39 This forecast saw governments and organizations globally prepare for this digital revolution,
00:46 particularly keen to ensure young people were ready for the job market
00:51 and responsive to new job opportunities.
00:54 The Jitume Project has seen over 28,000 users connected,
00:59 over 8,700 courses enrolled, and 118 digital job platforms connected.
