I’m so glad UNITeS Academy Foundation introduced the UNITeS Cisco Networking Academy was introduced in my school because I was able to get a job with the skills gotten from the program.

My opinion that it was a man’s thing changed completely after the program. I even went further and got my CCNA. I’m now an independent student in AAU Edo State. Thanks to UNITeS Academy Foundation.

With the help of UNITeS Academy Foundation team, She graduated with good grades and also won the award of “the most diligent student” in the school and UNITeS Cisco Networking Academy (Oyo location)

I got two job offers a few months after my IT Essentials certification. Considering the high state of unemployment in the country, I will say that the IT Essentials certificate gave me an edge over other people in the job market.

As part of efforts to improve the quality of ICT & Cisco instructors in Nigeria, UNITeS Academy Foundation through its platform held a series of Train the Trainer workshops from the 6^th of June to Friday 9th June, 2016.

The workshops held simultaneously at our Surulere and Ikoyi training centers.

The South-East regionals of the National ICT Champions’ Olympics was a resounding success. 52 girls from all over the south-east region of Nigeria gathered in FGC Okigwe to compete for the chance to represent the region at the National stage of the competition. The competition featured computer system assembling, logo design, quiz and presentation on ICT.

According to Toyin Olatayo, Executive Director, UNITeS Academy Foundation, “We need to encourage girls to participate more in ICT. A girl child at the grass root should have the opportunity of benefiting from ICT.

He added “We believe that inspiring and encouraging girls’ interest in technology will position them to become innovative and successful future leaders, contributing to the development of their families and the Nation.”

NICO is a national competition powered by UNITeS Academy Foundation on the platform of UNITeS Cisco Networking Academy. The National ICT Champions’ Olympics (NICO) is designed to encourage girls’ participation in Technology for their personal development and development of the society. It also aims to demonstrate the capabilities and potential of girls, dispelling the notion that “ICT is a man’s job”.
