73: Upskilling African engineers for Industry 4.0 – Roti Balogun

In our first story from Africa, Roti Balogun speaks about an initiative he kicked off in 2016 when he was the Chief Learning Officer for GE in Africa.  Inspired by a conversation he had at a World Economic Forum conference about what a partnership between industry and academia could look like, he forged a partnership with African Leadership University to help both GE and Africa to build the digital skills of engineers to prepare for the fourth industrial revolution.  Host: Michelle Ockers   Transcript and related resources: https://learninguncut.global/podcast/73/ Podcast information and more episodes: https://learninguncut.global/podcast/ Emergent: Podcast information and more episodes:  https://learninguncut.global/podcast/?podcast_series=emergent-series
