The University of Ilorin has launched an Innovative Skills and Pioneering Entrepreneurship Award aimed at equipping students and combating unemployment among graduates in the country.
The programme was launched on the university campus on Friday in partnership with industry leaders, including artists, who will teach registered students vocational skills to complement their academic pursuits.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulWahab Egbewole (SAN), stated that the programme was designed to equip students with chosen skills that they can learn at the institution during their leisure time.
Egbewole said, “The general stance with graduates in most of our institutions now is that they do not possess the required skills, and herein lies the gap this programme will fill. This partnership enriches our students’ educational experience and ensures they develop the practical skills required by today’s fast-evolving industries.”
Although participation is optional, the VC noted, “Students will be issued certificates after the training.”
He explained that students from other institutions would also be encouraged to join the programme, adding that the entire process leading to certificate issuance would be conducted online.
