Mauritius Telecom Launches Free AI and Digital Skills Training Platform with AWS

Mauritius Telecom  has launched the myt Learning Hub Portal, a free online learning platform offering digital and artificial intelligence (AI) training courses to residents across Mauritius.

The platform was launched at the Telecom Tower in the presence of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation Minister Avinash Ramtohul, Tertiary Education, Science and Research Minister Kaviraj Sharma Sukon, and Mauritius Telecom Chairman Sarat Lallah.

Developed through a partnership between Mauritius Telecom and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the initiative aims to expand access to digital skills and AI education as the country works towards training 50,000 citizens under its national digital skills development target.

The portal is launching with 16 courses, with Mauritius Telecom describing them as the first phase of a broader effort to make technology training resources freely accessible to the public.

Mauritius Telecom Chief Executive Officer Veemal Gungadin said the partnership with AWS provides access to training resources that can help citizens develop relevant skills and participate in the digital economy. He added that the platform was developed locally to make the learning opportunities available to Mauritians free of charge.

Ramtohul described the target of training 50,000 citizens as a national priority, emphasising the importance of making AI literacy accessible to students, professionals and households.

Meanwhile, Sukon encouraged universities, educators and students to use the platform to complement existing academic programmes and strengthen technology-related learning.

The launch forms part of Mauritius Telecom’s broader shift towards providing digital platforms and skills development services alongside its traditional connectivity offerings.
