The Enugu SME Center, in partnership with Genesys Tech Hub and Capitis Global Ventures Limited, proudly celebrates the graduation of a new cohort from the ESME Training Program—a transformative initiative designed to empower the youth of Enugu State with in-demand digital skills in Web3 and Product Design.
Driven by the vision of His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, Governor of Enugu State, the ESME Training Program is part of the administration’s broader strategy to accelerate human capital development, stimulate the digital economy, and create sustainable youth employment. The program has one clear goal: to prepare Ndi Enugu youths not just to join the global tech revolution—but to lead and shape it.
“This program is a clear demonstration of what happens when vision meets execution. We are investing in people—the most valuable asset of any economy,” said Hon. Arinze Chilo-Offiah, Special Adviser to the Governor on Digital Economy and MSME Development and Director-General of the Enugu SME Center.
Participants underwent rigorous, hands-on training led by seasoned industry experts. Through real-world projects, collaborative learning, and expert mentorship, the cohort emerged with the skills, mindset, and confidence needed to succeed in today’s digital-first world.
Program Highlights:
- Specialized Training Tracks in Web3 and Product Design
- Project-Based Learning and Team Collaboration
- Mentorship from Industry Experts
- Pathways to Employment and Digital Entrepreneurship
Behind the scenes, the dedicated team at the Enugu SME Center worked in lockstep with partners and facilitators to deliver a seamless, impactful, and life-changing experience for participants.
Looking Ahead
The momentum doesn’t stop here. With strategic support from organizations like GIZ, the Enugu SME Center is preparing to launch a Job Center—a new engine for job matching, career development, and youth empowerment across the state.
