Following the successful completion of its training of 20,000 citizens on no-code digital skills, the Anambra State government has announced the launch of a software development programme called, ‘Code Anambra’.

This is a programme being piloted through its Solution Innovation District (SID)

‘Code Anambra’ is a comprehensive software development training programme aimed at empowering Ndi Anambra with advanced in-demand coding skills and opportunities in the global tech industry.

Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Innovation and Business Incubation, Ms Chinwe Okoli, said ‘Code Anambra’ is designed to equip Anambra’s talented tech enthusiasts with the knowledge, expertise and practical skills in various software development areas, including product design, frontend development, backend development, fullstack development and mobile app development.

“Code Anambra training programme is starting just as the Solution Innovation District, in partnership with Microsoft and Wootlab Foundation concludes the training of 20,000 Anambra youths on web design, graphic design, digital marketing, productivity tools and digital entrepreneurship in a programme tagged ‘LevelUp Anambra’.

“This initiative reflects the commitment of Governor Soludo towards promoting innovation, entrepreneurship and job creation in the state,” she said.

Okoli stated that ‘Code Anambra’ is a continuous cohort-based programme; a four-month programme that comprises intensive training, learning and project phases, pointing out that the programme also includes a two-month internship phase post-training for the top talents.

“Code Anambra is open to both indigenes and residents of Anambra State who possess a certain level of proficiency in using computers. By participating in this training programme, individuals will have the opportunity to enhance their technical skills and embark on a promising career path within the thriving software development industry.

“During the four-month on-site training period, participants will be exposed to a rigorous curriculum developed by industry experts. They will gain hands-on experience, work on real-world projects and receive mentorship from experienced professionals.

“Upon the successful completion of the programme, top performers will have the opportunity to go for internship placements in reputable tech companies and organisations.

“We just concluded the training of 20,000 youths in the LevelUp Anambra programme and announced the winners of laptops and internship placements. We are committed to empower Ndi Anambra to take the center stage in the global innovation ecosystem,” Okoli said.
