Under its skills academy program, IBM conducted a one-week Blockchain Developer training for faculty members across Kenya. The training was held between 15-19 October 2018 at the KENET training room. The main objective of the training was to enable faculty to provide students with foundation skills required to develop blockchain applications and get them ready for the job market. The course covered basic concepts required to understand blockchain technology and included hands-on exercises which were conducted on the IBM Cloud Lab hosted at the KENET data center. By hosting the IBM Cloud Lab, KENET supports IBM's premier training and certification initiative for academia in Kenya.
