Well-Done IT Training Academy
The aim of Well-Done IT training Academy is a project initiative to train and give relevant knowledge and skills to young people in IT and Technological advancement
This initiative is an educational project to give exposure of relevant skills and knowledge to young people in school who have no or little knowledge in ICT and technological advancement such as AI, cyber security, machine learning, software development, the use of internet as to help them prepare for the future world
It's is in great demand that young people in my community do not have no or little exposure to the technological advancement world, as a matter of fact, lead to ignorant misuse of opportunities of IT. As a result, the community is lacking development if these skills should have been impacted to young individuals as years progresses. The major contributing factor is lack of resources and the education in this firm. It is estimated about 75-80% of people in my community are computer illiterates which is not helping the development of the society.
The target population is young individuals who are in basic schools, unemployed individuals and less privileged people. When these people are trained in the IT firm it could help give employment, give them exposure to the computer world and reduced illiteracy and rate of unemployment in my ecosystem.
A survey was conducted and it result that most people are illiterates in IT. I have served as a volunteer Teacher at Compassion International in my community to educate the youth for close to two years. I have engaged potential users in this solution.

When the needed resources are met, I am expecting to have trained about 100 people each year
In the future to come, I'm hoping to get more young people gain relevant knowledge in IT, the use of Computer for a positive purpose
The progress of these people could be measured based upon their skills and confidence gained from the training
Challenges that may affect this initiative is to get grants to hire a space for the training, purchase learning materials like laptops, projectors and other stuff.
