The Enugu SME Center, in collaboration with Genesys Tech Hub and Capitis Global Ventures Limited, has proudly marked the graduation of a new cohort from the ESME Training Program. This initiative aims to equip the youth of Enugu State with essential digital skills in Web3 and Product Design.
The programme aligns with the vision of His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, Governor of Enugu State, and forms part of a broader strategy to enhance human capital development, stimulate the digital economy, and foster sustainable employment for young people. The initiative seeks to prepare Ndi Enugu youths not only to participate in the global tech revolution but also to take on leadership roles within it.
“This program is a clear demonstration of what happens when vision meets execution. We are investing in people—the most valuable asset of any economy,” stated Hon. Arinze Chilo-Offiah, Special Adviser to the Governor on Digital Economy and MSME Development, as well as Director-General of the Enugu SME Center.
Participants benefited from intensive, hands-on training conducted by industry experts. Through engaging in real-world projects and collaborative learning, the graduates gained the skills, mindset, and confidence needed to thrive in today’s digital-first environment.
Key Highlights of the Programme:
– Specialised Training Tracks in Web3 and Product Design
– Project-Based Learning and Team Collaboration
– Mentorship from Industry Experts
– Pathways to Employment and Digital Entrepreneurship
The Enugu SME Center’s dedicated team worked closely with partners and facilitators to ensure a seamless and impactful experience for all participants.
Looking Ahead
The Enugu SME Center is set to build on this momentum by launching a Job Center, supported by organisations such as GIZ. This new initiative will focus on job matching, career development, and youth empowerment across the state.
