THE REPORT OF 2023 SUMMER SKILL ACQUISITION PROGRAMME
The Summer Skill Acquisition Programme is an annual programme of our organization that is aimed at empowering and equipping the youths, mostly, the vulnerable groups around Ota, Ogun State with necessary and relevant skills to enable them to compete in the fast-growing and expanding labour market where academic skills are no longer enough to be relevant.
