MTN ICT and Business Skills initiative berths in Nasarawa State, trains indigenes
In its usual Corporate Social Responsibility program (CSR), MTN has landed in Lafia, Nasarawa State as the indigenes all went home with the knowledge of ICT and business skills. The ICT training was tagged “Are Your Business Goals in 2020 Big Enough?”
During the event, one of the participants, Stella Ajige, a fashion entrepreneur, said: ” I believe that technology has come to stay and our brand will grow bigger if we leverage ICT. I learned about website and content creation that will appeal to my audience. My goal is to be visible to the world and I know this training will help my business.”
The pitch was brainstormed with so many business ideas an only an idea was well recognised by the judges. Ajige’s idea stood out because it focused on one of the societal problems in the state.
Right before the battle of business experts, ICT and business experts taught over hundred participants on how to position their businesses in the minds of the target audience. They were also taught how to generate capital using business skills and digital tools.
The MTN ICT and Business Skills initiative is aimed at building the capacity of young people in the area of ICT, while contributing to their employability and entrepreneurial ability.
The training involves ICT/Employability and basic business skills, and is facilitated by MTNN Ecosystem partners (IBM, KPMG, Google, Digital Bridge Institute and Oracle).
The programme was conducted in Nasarawa State, and was free and open to youths between the ages of 18 – 35 years old who are interested in leveraging ICT.
