The Federal Government, in partnership with the Osun State Government, will train 100 youths, including members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in key digital skills.
The training is aimed at boosting employability, innovation and youth participation in the digital economy.
Speaking during the flag-off of the training at the SDGs centre, Dagbolu, Osogbo, on Monday, the Special Adviser to Governor Ademola Adeleke on Sustainable Development Goals, Bamikole Omisore, explained that the 6-month training was aimed at empowering the youths of the state.
Omisore, who was represented by the Director of Administration SDGs office, Mr Adeyeye Adebanke, said the initiative was targeted at empowering youths with the in-demand technology training to make themselves self-sufficient economically.
According to him, “The training is targeting the undergraduates, unemployed and others who are interested in system networking installation. We have a total of 100 youths participating in the training; they were selected randomly based on their educational background and interest in technology growth.
“This is within the mandate of the SDGs goal 4; quality education, goal 8; decent work and economic growth. It is expected that at least at the end of the programme, the participants will have enough knowledge of networking and they will be able to stand on their own and be part of the State’s development process”.
