According to a statement, the programme, titled “Introduction to Cisco Networking Solutions and Workplace Professional Skills”, will provide participants with foundational knowledge of Cisco networking solutions and workplace professional skills.
It stated that the training aimed to empower individuals and businesses to thrive in the digital age, recognising the importance of soft skills in today’s dynamic work environment.
The CEO of TD Africa, Chioma Ekeh, said the company’s dedication to bridging the skills gap was not a one-off training programme nor limited to knowledge transfer.
Her words: “We understand the critical need for a skilled workforce to propel Africa’s digital transformation. Through our collaborative training programme with industry leaders like Cisco, we are committed to equipping individuals with the right tools and knowledge to succeed in this exciting field.”
The lack of digital skills has been named as a major reason why many graduates produced annually from Nigeria’s tertiary institutions are unable to secure employment.
