Lagos State Government is set to empower graduates with cutting-edge technology skills that will give them a better advantage with employers of labour through the Oracle Development Training Programme.
Speaking at a stakeholders' meeting in Ikeja, the State Commissioner for Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment,
Mrs. Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf, said more than 100 graduates had applied for the programme but 50 were picked for the pilot scheme that will commence in the first week of November 2018.
She said the selected candidates will be going through three-week intensive training on Oracle workforce development programme which is part of the curriculum from Oracle University that provides industry-certified training for graduates.
While noting that the target of the ministry is to ensure that almost all the participants were gainfully employed after the successful completion of the training, the commissioner said some beneficiaries of previous employability skill-training programmes organised by the ministry have been employed.
A Manager of Oracle in Africa, Adepegba Oduntan, said the training was borne out of the desire to equip graduates with the right skills currently needed in the labour market.
