The ST Tech Academy, a free training program, officially kicks off today with a goal of training 17,500 people.
In partnership with Proxy Coding School and DreNations TV, the academy aims to equip individuals with cutting-edge tech skills. The first cohort, starting on March 10, will offer courses in full-stack web development, cybersecurity, Web3, Python, UI/UX, graphics, and more.
According to Mr. Trust Otorudo, Regional Head of Smart Treasures in Lagos, the program is designed to bridge the gap in tech education and provide opportunities for individuals to acquire in-demand skills.
“We are excited to partner with Proxy Coding School to launch the ST Tech Academy,” he said. “Our goal is to empower individuals with the skills they need to succeed in the tech industry, and we believe this partnership will help us achieve that.”
The program is open to ST Team members from various skill levels and backgrounds, with free admission. Additionally, starting in April, the ST Team will provide living wage stipends to select groups, including teachers, public officials, the disabled, widows, and orphans.
With this initiative, the ST Team and Proxy Coding School are set to make a significant impact in Nigeria’s tech education landscape.
