The Future project, has commenced another training; the Basic ICT Training which is geared to train youths with basic digital and communication skills, and also provide them with online learning opportunities, in order to prepare them for the job market.
The Basic ICT Training is designed to effectively narrow the digital literacy divide by promoting IT accessibility, and its utilization by young people. Unemployment in the country could be significantly reduced when/if the majority of the nation’s youth are armed with digital skills, which most job opportunities and employers require nowadays.
The goal of this training is to have many employed youths and many businesses growing via the use of social media. Through this training we can equip them with the requisite skills needed to stand out as an entrepreneur or a professional.
This effort will help ensure that more young people get access to digital literacy training so they can become full participants in the economy, increase their employability and keep them off the streets.
Students will be taught on the use of desktop publishing, how to use Microsoft office, computer appreciation and how to use social media. This training session will run from the 11th of May to the 13th of May, 2015 in Lagos state.
Facilitators of this training are exemplary role models who stand out in the field of technology and are willing to impart knowledge and mentor willing youths on how to seize the numerous opportunities in the country.
There are limited seats available for this training.
