The Minister of Labor and Social Security, Victoria Diogo, said that this is an open door for young Mozambicans graduating at colleges and embracing the sector of information and communication technology.

"In the coming two years, 100 Mozambicans could benefit from internship with the company and it plans to retain 50 of this number, not mention the other job opportunities the company normally provides", Diogo said.
