Harnessing Tech Skills with the Code Plateau Initiative – The Hub Podcast
Harnessing Tech Skills with the Code Plateau Initiative
The conversation about acquiring technological skills has been around for a while. This is a result of Nigeria's unemployment rate rising to 33.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to a report published by the National Bureau of Statistics.
These skills have proven to be effective in the labour market as they have provided the opportunity for people to work remotely and otherwise. For this reason, Code Plateau has been on a mission to build capacity, providing the Plateau youth with relevant technology skills and employment opportunities.
Speaking on this week's episode of The Hub Podcast, the Director General of the Plateau Information and Communications Technology and Development Agency (PICTDA) talks about his tireless efforts to give back to the state by empowering the new generation. It is a story of passion, gratitude and giant leaps of faith.
Prior to starting his own company, Gideon King was comfortable with working the causal 9-5 job. He had always loved the ambience that comes with working but ironically felt the need to create something of his own.
His company Icidat Technologies Ltd was created from a need to provide quality, value-based and creative solution using ultra-modern technologies.
In this episode of The Hub Podcast, he explains more details about his company, services, and also, gives insight as to why the North needs more of web solution providers.
