A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in Anambra State, Hi-Impact Choice Limited, has commenced plans to empower 5,000 youths with digital skills.
The CEO of Hi-Impact Choice Limited, Ambassador Bright Alexander Nwakama, made the disclosure in Awka, saying the Impact Tech Academy was majorly concerned about lifting the youngsters out of poverty through digital skills.
He explained that, “Impact Tech Academy is on the project of Anambra’s digital programme to empower 5,000 youths through the learning of digital skills. After training we shall give them employment in our partnering organisations.”
Nwakama further said that the digital skills training was free as Impact Tech Academy had partners who were sponsoring it.
