Stanbic IBTC Holdings, a member of Standard Bank Group, has unveiled the fourth edition of its flagship Digital Skills Empowerment Programme (DiSEP 4.0). This initiative underscores the company’s longstanding commitment to empowering young Nigerians and actively promoting digital transformation within the country.
DiSEP 4.0 represents a significant step forward in addressing the digital skills gap that exists in Nigeria. The program equips young graduates with the necessary tools to succeed in the dynamic Information Technology sector. Participants will receive intensive training in cutting-edge digital technologies such as Kubernetes, DevOps, Java, C#, NetCore, and Software Testing and Automation. This intensive training, coupled with professional certification opportunities and practical experience, will prepare graduates to enter the workforce with a competitive skillset.
Speaking about the programme’s impact, Dr Kunle Adedeji, Acting Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, highlighted the transformative power of DiSEP since its inception in October 2021. “We have witnessed remarkable success from previous cohorts,” he stated, “with graduates launching careers in critical fields like software engineering, data analysis, and cloud computing. Many of these talented individuals have not only advanced their careers but have also made significant contributions to their communities.”
The programme is specifically designed for ambitious young graduates with a passion for technology and a strong desire for continuous learning. DiSEP 4.0 offers a unique opportunity for 200 participants to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the digital age.
To qualify for DiSEP 4.0, candidates must possess a minimum of a Second-Class Lower Honours degree in Information Technology or Engineering. Additionally, they must hold a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate. These requirements ensure that participants are not only academically qualified but also demonstrate dedication to their professional development.
DiSEP goes beyond fostering individual skills. It plays a crucial role in addressing the nation’s digital talent gap. The programme’s graduates will emerge as digitally competent professionals, positioned to drive digital transformation within Stanbic IBTC and across various sectors in Nigeria.
DiSEP is an investment in the future. It’s not just a corporate social initiative; it is a pathway to a brighter future for Nigeria’s youths. Aspiring tech professionals are encouraged to apply for this valuable opportunity to enhance their skills and contribute positively to the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
