iCreate Africa is a social enterprise that was created as a hub for skill excellence to promote technical skills in Nigeria, and all of Africa. So, prioritising technical skills as global currency and as a tool to empower youths to embrace technical and vocational skills as first choice in their career planning is important. With technical skills, we are talking more of blue-collar jobs in contrast to white-collar jobs. So, without technical labour for you to do the job in the factory, we won’t achieve industrialisation creativity. We work more with the private sector because we believe technical skills has to be demand-driven and if it is demand driven, then it is the industry and the private sector that can provide such technical skills.
