We are excited to announce that the American Institute of Technology through it’s Institute of Corporate & Executive Programs has graciously offered to support our work by granting 100% scholarship to select qualified graduates to study and earn a Postgraduate Certificate in Information Technology Management with a concentration in Cybersecurity
The Premise
unemployment is a social and economic crisis. Low skills perpetuate poverty and inequality. The diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) across all economic sectors is placing new demands on workers’ skills and changing skill set is both expanding employment opportunities and imposing new demands on disadvantaged groups which is why our Tech4Employment programme aims to reduce gender digital divide, unemployment and underemployment, increase productivity, and improve standards of living through provision of digital skills training programmes targeted at bridging the mismatch between the tertiary education curriculum and the realities/needs of the labour market. Helping people develop and update their skills makes economic sense.
With the help of our sponsor and partners, we are working tirelessly to reduce graduate youth unemployment and underemployment one graduate a time.
About the Programme
The Postgraduate Certificate Programme is a six-month cohort-based intensive online program designed specifically for individuals seeking to secure entry-level positions or advance their careers in the IT industry.
