Polaris Bank, in partnership with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and NerdzFactory, has begun a high-impact capacity-building workshop on digital skills for 5,000 National Youth Service Corps members across 12 states in Nigeria.

The program is part of the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) drive, aimed at equipping young Nigerians with relevant work-ready digital skills to build their self-sustenance in innovation, creativity, digital skills, business acumen, and relevance in the 21st-century economy and workplace.

According to Polaris Bank’s Group Head, Product & Market Development, Mrs. Adebimpe Ihekuna, “This partnership is part of Polaris Bank’s commitment to Youth development and empowerment in Nigeria which aligns with the Bank’s strategic CSR pillars.”

She added, “We see the need for a work-ready and digitally equipped youth which has informed Polaris Bank’s partnership with NerdzFactory to make a difference and provide 5,000 NYSC members with digital skills needed to start a successful career in paid employment or create their own businesses as entrepreneurs.”

The training, which will run across two quarters, will cover courses such as basic digital literacy, cyber security, data science, product design, software development (back end), product management, blockchain technology, mobile app development, 3D and virtual reality, and software development (front end).

Corps members from 12 states of the country including Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Plateau, Delta, Rivers, Enugu, and Imo will benefit from this initiative.

It should be noted that Polaris Bank, in conjunction with Digivate 360, ran similar digital training across eight (8) locations: Lagos, Enugu, Abuja, Kano, Ilorin, Port Harcourt, Abeokuta, and Benin in 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Polaris Bank is a leading bank in Nigeria, known for re-defining banking products and services that meet the needs of individuals and businesses.
