BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/Asia News Network): Women from Brunei Darussalam are among those in the Asia-Pacific region to be provided digital training and education opportunities by 14 United States (US) companies including Amazon, Apple and Google, as part of an initiative by the US President Biden administration.
The US Department of Commerce and the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) launched last Thursday (Sept 8) the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) Upskilling Initiative, a public-private endeavour to support sustainable and inclusive economic growth by providing primarily women and girls in IPEF emerging economies and middle-income partners access to training and education in digital skills.
