About the programme
The South-South's next generation of talent starts here.
The iDICE South-South Skills-to-Jobs Programme is creating opportunities for young people across the South-South region to gain practical digital, creative and business skills that can help them compete in today's economy.
Through fully funded training and pathways towards employment and enterprise, the programme is designed to help young people move from potential to practical skills — and from skills to opportunity.
YOUR LOCATION SHOULD NOT LIMIT YOUR OPPORTUNITY. Whether you're in Port Harcourt, Benin City, Uyo, Asaba, Calabar, Yenagoa or anywhere across the six South-South states, this is an opportunity to build skills for what comes next.
