Computer Training Program

The ad for KIND's Computer Training Program drew 1,800 responses from young unemployed graduates.

KIND only had 30 computers for the free training and job placement program.

Some of the 25 students selected for the computer-training program.

Only 6 of the students were women. (About 80% of the applicants were men.) In the next class, we plan to aggressively recruit more female applicants.

The training runs for 4 months and the students are trained in HTML design, C++ and database development, and other computer applications.

"The training has been good so far but I feel adequate contingencies should be made in the area of power supply; I think that more computers should be provided to improve the standard of the training received."

Shittu Sekinat, Trainee no- TO106

"KIND’s been so kind and has changed my life. Although our progress has been delayed by lack of a standby generator. Apart from this problem I have really acquired a lot of IT skills."

Abu-Atik Muhammed Cullis, Trainee no - TO101

"The first six weeks has been challenging. Keep up the good work, i.e. help for the teeming unemployed Nigerian graduates!"

Eko Micheal, Trainee No – TO111

"I came to this program with high expectations and I must confess I have not been disappointed. This initiative is commendable though it would have been better if we all had a PC to ourselves instead of 2 people sharing one."
