Have you ever imagined a world where unemployment isn’t the end but the beginning of a powerful new journey? Picture a city where the barriers of digital exclusion no longer limit dreams but instead ignite opportunities for growth and innovation. That city could be Ilorin, our very own Ilorin.
Community ICT Hub: Why Ilorin? Why Now?
In Kwara State, over 40% of youths face unemployment. This number isn’t just a statistic; it’s a reflection of thousands of dreams deferred, potential untapped, and lives waiting for opportunities to blossom. Digital exclusion compounds this challenge, leaving our bright minds disconnected from global opportunities. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
We’re building the Community ICT Training Hub right in the heart of Ilorin. Our goal is to empower our youths and women with practical, affordable, and globally relevant digital skills.
What is the Community ICT Hub?
It’s more than just a training centre, it’s a hub of hope, a beacon of innovation, and a launchpad for economic empowerment. At our ICT Hub, we’ll deliver intensive training in:
- Web Development
- Digital Marketing
- Graphic Design
- Data Analysis
- Freelancing Mastery (Upwork, Fiverr)
Imagine Aisha, a university graduate who has spent months searching for employment without success. She enrols in our Web Development course, and within weeks, she’s equipped with a skill in demand worldwide. She soon starts earning a sustainable income from freelance projects online. Imagine the ripple effect: her success inspires friends, family, and neighbours, igniting a community-wide transformation.
How Big is the Problem? Let’s Look at the Numbers:
| Issue | Statistic |
|---|---|
| Youth unemployment | Over 40% |
| Internet penetration | Only 38% nationwide |
| Digital skills gap | Affecting 8 out of 10 youths |
These aren’t just numbers—they represent people in our community. But together, we can rewrite this story.
The Impact We Aim For:
- Over 500 trained youths and women in the first year
- Increased local employment and entrepreneurial ventures
- Strengthened digital skills ecosystem in Ilorin
Community ICT Hub: Why Should You Care?
Every great change begins with one step, one person, one decision to act. Whether you’re a student dreaming of better opportunities, a freelancer willing to give back, a parent hoping for your child’s bright future, or a community leader ready to make a mark, your involvement counts.
