The Nigerian federal government has enrolled 16,000 young people in its first cohort of the Digital Training Academy. The program, launched in Abuja, offers free training designed to equip participants with digital skills relevant to the global job market.
The Digital Training Academy is part of a broader effort to address youth unemployment and enhance digital literacy across the country. Participants will receive training in areas such as coding, data analysis, and digital marketing.
The initiative is supported by government officials and aims to create a skilled workforce capable of competing in the digital economy. The program is expected to run for several months, with plans to expand to more participants in the future.
Officials emphasized the importance of digital skills in driving economic growth and innovation. The training is open to all Nigerian citizens, with a focus on those from underserved communities.
