Accelerate Digital Transformation for Governments
As citizens, we depend on government infrastructure to deliver us quality services. Since the cost of creating and maintaining advanced digital infrastructure is very expensive, many national and state governments are unable to fully leverage the power of technology for transforming the service delivery to citizens.
GDC creates a well trained group of students who are proficient in technology skills and field operations to build public digital goods that enables governments to provide quality services to citizens.
