More Info
This arm of the foundation has empowered over 150 youths with startup kits (Laptops & Printers) in Abia state, Nigeria and 60% of these empowered youths have job employments or running ICT ventures.
The Foundation’s vision for the ICT training program is in line with United Nation’s ninth sustainable development goal. The youths, who hitherto were unemployable without the required technical skills, are trained on how to use information and communication technology as a tool to strengthen their capacities and become employable within the 21st-century workplace or start a business venture that can facilitate domestic technology development.
The ICT training is a nine-month continuous program with course content spanning basic and advanced Microsoft office packages, programming, and coding. The training program, which commenced in 2017, has graduated and empowered 224 youths with brand new laptops and printers as start-up kits. 60% of the graduands from our ICT Training program are now gainfully employed while others are business owners running ICT ventures that have also employed other youths.
