Kwara state government will on April 27 begin a two-week virtual digital training for youths, an initiative that is a part of the Digital Kwara component of the state’s social investment programme, a statement said on Thursday.
The virtual training, which is the first phase of a programme that would benefit up to 30,000 young people over the next three years, targets at least 2,000 youths who would be tutored in basic digital skills and be given certificates.
Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye said in the statement that the training is free and is timed to ensure the youths make the best of the lockdown season by acquiring some digital skills that are relevant for the 21st century economy.
“Digital skills are becoming increasingly invaluable and Kwara youths shouldn’t be left behind in the global surge for the skills of the future,” the statement added.
