An indigenous mobile technology company, Imosé Technologies Limited, 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 program 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 centers.
A series of screening and interviews were conducted to select the first batch of 30 candidates from an applicant pool of over 1000 for the program, who kicked off their training on Saturday 9 April. All trainees will be compensated at the end of the three-month program, while the best two performing candidates get instant employment with Imosé Technologies as well as cash prizes. Executive Director, Imosé Technologies Limited, Taiye Osayi-Izedonmwen, said:
“The Imosé Technical Training Academy is a corporate social responsibility initiative of Imosé Technologies Limited, 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.” All participants will be provided with training kits to enable them to engage thoroughly in the training, and the training 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.
Since its creation in 2014, Imosé Technologies Limited has remained committed to the development of high quality but affordable devices and platforms including mobile phones, desktop phones, universal 4G MiFis and routers, and the Omotab 2 educational tablet that enables access to information and knowledge for its valued customers.
“The Imosé Technical Training Academy is one way the technology company contributes to its host communities while grooming top talent that will deliver quality service and boost customers’ confidence in the company,” Osayi-Izedonmwen said.
