In furtherance of its plans to equip youths with in-demand skills for self-sustenance, the Edo State government, through the Edo Skills Development Agency (EdoJobs), has partnered the CADD Centre Nigeria in providing training for 100 Edo youths for project management and engineering design.
The training is coming on the heels of the launch of the Edo Production Centre, a multi-purpose production centre for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the manufacturing sector. The centre is fitted with state-of-the-art facilities suited for manufacturing, including 24-hour electricity supply.
