YEESSI holds Digital Skill training for new Volunteers

YEESSI is an organization that is interested in equipping the youths with relevant skills that can make them competitive and self-sustained.

This prompted the organization to organizing trainings on digital skill primer, design thinking and leadership for the new volunteers.

The aim of the trainings is to equip them with the requisite technological knowledge to be able to collaborate effectively. The design thinking training is aimed at sharpening their creative confidence and energize them to start using their skills to solve existential societal problems. Leadership is pivotal to the development of any society, therefore we believe all our members must be well groomed to take up leadership responsibilities wherever they find themselves.

 A quote by Herbert Simon which says ”Everyone designs, who devises course of action aimed at changing present situation to a preferred one” was used by Israel Ayomide, the Design Thinking trainer to encourage the participants on the need to contribute positively to their societies. 

The training which is a week long event will be concluded on Saturday 19th September, 2020.
