About 800 youth benefits from ICT training
Accra, April 8, GNA - The Soul Food Ministries International (SFMI), has trained additional 800 youth in Information Communication Technology (ICT), under its Free for all ICT training initiative. Pastor Eddie Letsa, General Overseer of SFMI, said the training was to provide free ICT education for the youth to give them employable skills in information technology. He said the project, which is a non-denominational training package to educate the youth in various information technological programmes would position them to be self-employed. Pastor Letsa, who said this to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Accra on Monday, explained that the church was executing the project to improve the welfare of young people in society. He said: SFMI provides training as a way of empowering and providing skills to support people's lives. He said the decision of the church to offer these courses for free was to contribute to the development of the youth as well as help build a better country. Pastor Letsa said the training was not being conducted for only members of the church, but the members of the public could take advantage of it and improve on the standards of living. The training programme helps students to graduate in courses, including Computer Hardware, Windows 2003 server, Windows 2008 server, Microsoft 2003, Computer Networking, Cisco Certified Network Administration, Linux SLED, SQL and system analysis. Pastor Letsa said 5, 788 students have benefited from the project since its inception five years ago, and appealed to corporate institutions, philanthropists interested in training the youth in ICT to partner the church, to provide employable skill to young people to forestall increase in social vices.GNA
