With how the world is going digitally, one must equip oneself with digital skills to stay afloat with the current trend.
Probably you have heard that tech is the future, yes that’s right. Every industry needs technology to become productive and relevant in operations and advancement.
Digital skills can direct your borderless transaction from your locale to a foreign land. Imagine converting your physical books to e-books and selling them online on Amazon or eBay…
That will get your creative work to a foreign audience that you may not have gotten to physically.
So, Codeant Technology Hub has come to help bridge the gap on lack of digital skills from its local audience in Owerri with an amazing Digital Skill Masterclass on 3 important courses: Digital Marketing, Product Design, and Data Analytics.
These courses offer you the basic and in-demand roles in tech jobs which you can do remotely and get paid in dollars.
You love that, right? Who would say no, anyway?
Almost all businesses will soon depend on digital means to advance their productivity. This is what we believe and teach at Codeant that digital skills are the fundamentals for the future of work.
Consequently, Codeant Technology Hub in Owerri recently concluded its highly anticipated Digital Skill Masterclass, and it’s safe to say it was a resounding success.
The three-week program focused on equipping young people with in-demand digital skills needed to thrive in today’s evolving job market.
What Is Digital Skill?
Digital skills are the abilities you need to use digital devices and technology effectively. This can include a wide range of things, but some of the most important digital skills include:
- Basic computer operation: This includes being able to use a computer, tablet, or smartphone for common tasks like browsing the internet, using email, and creating documents.
- Information literacy: This is the ability to find, evaluate, and use information from the internet effectively. It’s important to be able to tell the difference between credible and unreliable sources of information.
- Communication and collaboration: This includes being able to communicate and collaborate with others online using tools like email, video conferencing, and social media.
- Digital content creation: This is the ability to create digital content, such as documents, presentations, videos, and images.
- Problem-solving: This is the ability to use technology to solve problems and complete tasks.
- Cybersecurity: This is the ability to protect yourself and your data online. This includes things like using strong passwords, being careful about what information you share online, and being aware of online scams.
Strong digital skills are important for success in your personal and professional life.
These skills can help you find a job, get an education, stay connected with friends and family, and manage your finances.
Why Do We Need Digital Skills?
In a world increasingly reliant on technology, digital skills are no longer a luxury; they’re a necessity.
