BOOSTING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
In an effort to boost employment and livelihood opportunities in the area and enable youth to access such opportunities within the Information Communications Technology, the Trust approved a Remote Work Training Project with a goal to train a total of 50 youth in digital skills.
The project run by Riziki ICT Solutions involved training in basic web development and digital marketing in order to access affiliate marketing and online gigs, providing alternative relief from the jobs crunch within the formal economy.
24 local youth have completed the theory phase that is accredited by the Media, Information & Communication Technology SETA. Training sessions were conducted over 4 months at Lungiso High School’s Computer Labs. The project, through the Trust’s funds also purchased tablet devices for the learners to complete the jobs in the comfort of their homes.
