WHY
HOT – UCC Youth Skilling program for different constituents not only aims to enhance productivity and efficiency while increasing the creation of relevant local content online, by driving increased adoption and usage of ICTs by all demographics and making them relevant as sources of information and knowledge, the program also contributes to the achievement of SDG 1-ending poverty by improving digital skills for employability, SDG 4, which promotes inclusive and equitable access to quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all.
The development of digital skills among youths can be challenging, but to improve youths’ employment there is a need for the development of digital skills, such as ICT skills. This program, therefore, aims at improving ICT skills for the youth that can be used for the sustainable development of their employability. The implementation of digital skills training among youths can enforce their knowledge of computerisation required in the labour market.
