Youths Enterprise Development and Innovation Society (YEDIS), in partnership with the Federation of Ikirun Students Union (FIKSU) National Body, organised a 2-day workshop on Digital Skills and Online Learning Best Practices for Youth Education and Employment on the 9th and 10th of November 2022 at Akinorun Grammar School event hall in Ikirun, a marginalised community in Osun State, Nigeria.
YEDIS provided managerial and technical support, while FIKSU mobilised sixty student participants comprising youth between the ages of twelve and sixteen from six public secondary schools in Ikirun (ten students from each school). The beneficiaries constitute thirty-four girls and twenty-six boys.
The training includes the practical application of digital skills, web surfing practices, online learning methods and communication techniques, and social media networks for education and employment. Four volunteer digital experts facilitated the program that ran daily from 9 am to 1 pm.
The participants also learned the concept of digital marketing and information and communication technology for productive employment. We distributed the training manuals accordingly for the study and future references.
Finally, the organisers held quiz competitions to test the students’ understanding of the training as part of the program. YEDIS presented a customised vest and cash gifts to the 1st and all the other best four winners and presented the certificate of completion to all sixty participants.
Support and partner with YEDIS to accomplish its goals on gender, youth employment, and community development.
