Samuel Nartey George has initiated steps to onboard global tech firm Code Raccoon into Ghana’s flagship digital skills and training programme, as part of efforts to scale access to industry-relevant competencies across the country.
The move follows a courtesy visit by Code Raccoon’s Chief Executive Officer, Jorn Halsinger, where both parties discussed potential collaboration and integration pathways.
During the meeting, the Minister stressed the need for technical engagements between the company and the Ministry’s implementation team to explore the integration of Code Raccoon’s Ambylon learning platform into the Government’s central digital training portal. He explained that the initiative is designed to expand access to critical digital skills, particularly in artificial intelligence, coding, and entrepreneurship.

According to him, the Government is focused on building a seamless and user-friendly learning ecosystem where all courses can be accessed through a single national platform. “We are building a unified system where learners can access thousands of courses through one interface. Once a user selects a course, the system seamlessly connects them to the provider’s platform through API integration,” he stated.
He further revealed that ongoing integrations with global platforms such as Google and Coursera are being structured to allow users to access external learning environments without leaving the Government’s portal.
The Minister disclosed that implementation of the programme is already underway, with nearly 10,000 digital devices distributed to learning centres nationwide. He added that a national registration portal will soon be launched to enable students to enrol and begin courses.
Highlighting the programme’s execution model, he noted that it is being driven through strategic partnerships, with private sector collaborators supporting both content delivery and funding. This, he said, enables Government to scale the initiative efficiently despite financial constraints.
In his remarks, Halsinger expressed Code Raccoon’s readiness to support Ghana’s digital transformation agenda through its Ambylon platform, which offers over 5,700 courses spanning coding, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, and related fields. He noted that the platform is designed not only to prepare learners for employment but also to empower them to become job creators.
He added that the proposed partnership would allow seamless API integration of Code Raccoon’s virtual learning environment into the Government’s platform, enabling automatic user onboarding and direct access to its course library.
The engagement reflects Ghana’s broader strategy to leverage global partnerships in delivering large-scale digital skills training, positioning its workforce to compete effectively in the evolving global digital economy.
