Income Generating Skills and Job Training For Young People

Digital Literacy

Digital literacy goes beyond knowing how to take a selfie or using social media. It is about being able to understand and make use of technology. It has to do with one’s ability to create, use and find beneficial information from the internet.

At our computer classes, we teach our students advanced digital skills such as coding, data analysis, etc. These skills are designed to equip them with the ability to think critically, solve problems and create tools for other users of technology.
