In its continued effort to equip the next generation with in-demand skills, the Skill Up The Teenagers Initiative team visited Zoe College, Ogbomoso, on Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th August 2025 for a two-day intensive training program.

The team, led by the convener, Mr. Olatubosun Olajide, was warmly welcomed by the school management, offering full support to ensure the success of the program.

During the visit, the initiative trained 42 students in crocheting, graphics design, solar installation, laptop repair, and photography. The sessions were designed to engage students during the holiday period, providing them with practical knowledge and skills that can open future opportunities.

Speaking about the program, Mr. Olajide emphasized the importance of exposing teenagers to both creative and technical skills early in life, empowering them to innovate, create value, and prepare for real-world challenges.

This training marks yet another milestone in the organization’s mission to inspire teenagers through value creation, self-discovery, and mindset positioning, nurturing a generation ready to make a positive impact on society.

The organisation it is recalled has been moving round schools to impart skills on students to prepare them for future challenges. Among the schools already visited are Ogbomoso Grammar School and Adeniran Memorial Grammar School.
