During the Pandemic all 475 ACPCs were shut down by the Government. However, right through the Pandemic and immediately after, AMBA Team leveraged the mothers’ of our young operators from 113 ACPCs and taught them how to give them hotspot internet connections which enabled them to work from home like their mainstream counterparts.
To Advance business: to match the scale of training done at AMBA, within varied genres, to include data processing; multi-media and Artificial Intelligence (camera -based and automation of data-processing)… AMBA - Update on Business Development
