Imosé Technologies has instituted a technical training academy to train young and
unemployed Nigerians in the repair of mobile devices, graphic design using mobile apps, and
product photography. The academy which will run a three-month intensive certification
programme will see hundreds of youths aged 18 to 30 years from Abuja, Benin City, Ibadan,
Lagos, and Port-Harcourt empowered with skills to serve in the telecommunications sector
or launched into entrepreneurship.
As part of the company’s objective to have a structured, thorough and transparent process,
the registration process for interested candidates was made open via the Imosé
Technologies website and offline across its different service centres. A series of screenings
and interviews were conducted to select the first batch of 30 candidates from an applicant
pool of over 1000 for the programme, who kicked off their training on Saturday 9 April.
All trainees will be compensated at the end of the 3-month programme while the best two
performing candidates get instant employment with Imosé Technologies as well as cash
prizes.
Taiye Osayi-Izedonmwen, Executive Director, Imosé Technologies says that “The Imosé
Technical Training Academy is a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative of Imosé
Technologies, and it is aimed at getting youths engaged and off the streets.
“It will be an annual programme and run in partnership with Upskill Learning Centre to
change the lives of passionate and interested Nigerian youths,” she said.
All participants will be provided with training kits to enable them to engage thoroughly in
the training, and the programme will be both theoretical and hands-on. The standard
training module in mobile repair will cover topics including; disassembling and assembling of
different mobile devices, mobile device motherboard and its components, working with
chips on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), solder and de-solder, using solder jumpers,
replacing chips and components, charging ports, connectors and switches.
