About 6,000 young Nigerians are to benefit from a free digital skills acquisition program organized by a digital marketing agency in Lagos, Socialander, in partnership with GIZ, the Germany’s federal enterprise that promotes international cooperation, development and education.
The free training is designed to expose beneficiaries to in-demand digital skills and and make them compete at a global scale. The online and offline training course will hold at GIZ centres in Abuja, Lagos and Benin.
“We are delighted with this partnership with GIZ as it provides us with the opportunity to equip more young Africans with digital skills, which is in line with our goals as a digital agency in Africa.,” said CEO of Socialander, Bella Victor.
He said the training will equip beneficiaries with different digital portfolio services including digital marketing, product design & branding, digital PR, data analytics & management, among others.
“This comes after the digital agency commenced its free internship program, SIP2022 (Socialander Internship Program 2022), aimed at training 5,000 African youths in various digital marketing skills,” he added.
