Mauritius Telecom Launches 16 Free Online Courses in Tech Skills
The myt Learning Hub Portal offers free training in AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity and data analytics to anyone in Mauritius.
Mauritius Telecom has launched a new free online learning platform giving Mauritians access to sixteen courses across four of the most in-demand areas in technology today. The myt Learning Hub Portal was unveiled on Friday 6 June at a ceremony held at the Telecom Tower in Port Louis, the company's headquarters in the capital.
The sixteen courses are spread across four subject areas: artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and data analytics. All courses are available at no cost to users, making them accessible to students, job seekers, professionals looking to upskill, and anyone with an internet connection.
Mauritius Telecom, commonly known as MT, is the country's largest telecommunications provider and is majority state-owned. It operates the myt brand, which covers broadband, mobile and television services across the island.
The launch of the portal reflects a broader push in Mauritius to build digital skills among the population. Successive governments have identified the digital economy as a key pillar of the country's long-term development strategy, and there is growing demand from local and international employers for workers trained in fields like cybersecurity and data science.
Free access removes one of the most common barriers to digital upskilling. Paid platforms such as Coursera or LinkedIn Learning can cost tens of thousands of rupees per year, putting them out of reach for many Mauritians, particularly school leavers and those between jobs.
What this means: If you live in Mauritius and want to build skills in technology without paying for a course, the myt Learning Hub Portal is now an option worth exploring. The four subject areas covered, AI, cloud, cybersecurity and data analytics, are among the fastest-growing fields in both local and global job markets. Whether you are a student thinking about a career in tech, an office worker wanting to understand digital tools better, or a business owner looking to train staff, sixteen free structured courses is a meaningful resource. Because the platform is run by Mauritius Telecom, it is likely to remain stable and accessible over time, unlike some third-party free tools that disappear without notice.
Mauritius Telecom has not yet published details on whether the courses carry recognised certificates, how long each course takes to complete, or whether they are self-paced. Prospective learners should check the myt website or contact the company directly for those specifics.
