Leke Oyetoke, the founder of SIIT – Scholars International Institute of Technology, alongside his team, has launched SIIT Africa – a tutor-led training initiative aimed at equipping millions across Africa with essential technical and vocational skills. This program is designed to meet the growing demand for skilled talent in the workforce while providing individuals with self-employable and monetizable skills.
The need for self-employable and monetizable skills in Africa has become increasingly crucial as the continent’s youth population continues to grow rapidly. With millions of young people entering the job market each year, there is a critical demand for skills that not only enable employment but also empower individuals to create economic value through entrepreneurship and innovation.
Traditional education systems in many African countries often fail to equip students with practical, job-ready, and monetizable skills. This disconnect between education and employability has resulted in high youth unemployment rates. As a solution, the focus has shifted toward vocational and technical education, digital literacy, and entrepreneurial training, which are seen as vital tools for economic empowerment.
In today’s digital economy, skills such as software development, data analysis, digital marketing, content creation, and mobile app development are in high demand. These skills are not only employable but also highly monetizable, enabling individuals to generate income through freelancing, startups, or remote work opportunities. Additionally, vocational skills like electrical work, plumbing, and expertise in renewable energy are increasingly needed to address Africa’s growing infrastructure and development challenges.
By investing in the development of employable and monetizable skills, Africa can harness its vast talent pool, reduce unemployment, and fuel economic growth. The rise of EdTech platforms and vocational training programs, such as SIIT Africa, is playing a crucial role in bridging the skills gap and empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools to succeed in the modern economy.
SIIT Africa’s learning model includes live online classes, well-structured curricula, expert tutors, peer-to-peer training sessions, and industrial internships to provide hands-on industry experience. This program ensures that students can learn from top professionals regardless of their location.
