TTC Mobile Launches Telecom Training Programme in Nigeria
July 24, 2008 by ella
TTC Mobile Limited is launching a new programme tagged ” Nigerian Graduates And Telecom Opportunities: The Missing Link. The programme is a series of seminar to sensitive persons interested in developing career in any of the specializations of ICT and will be held in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja in the following couple of weeks.
The concept is borne out of the company’s new position as coordinator of the Training and Consulting committee of ATCON (Association of Telecommunication companies of Nigeria).headed by Mr. Chrysantus Okon,
Managing Director and Chief Executive of the company. Mr. Akin Aregbesola disclosed this a press conference where he unfolded the company’s plan on this project.
Aregbesola, an Engineer said he will personally make himself available to deliver a career in telecom or any ICT related discipline. He added that such participants will win various prizes such as Laptops, phones, Internet Access, Software, etc, as part of TTC’s the company’s incentive to motivate them to take up career in telecom.
Asked how the company has coped with the various challenges inherent in running a telecom training company in Nigeria, Aregbesola said “there are quite a number of challenges; loss of competent staff to bigger players in the industry , ‘pirates’ duplicating our training materials and doing our courses in our stead, etc. But despite these, we continue to excel. We are blessed with gifted and dedicated staff that see their personal successes attached to the success of the company”.
He added, “As TTC has grown beyond a one man company, we are open to ideas. We bring in consultants and experts here and there to complement our works. We take time off to retain ourselves locally and abroad so as to remain the leader that we already are in the telecom training.
Talking about what the seminar idea is all about, Aregbesola said; ” We realize more and more that people do not even know what they need. For example, they need to know the different possible departments in an organized ICT company and which they can fit into. “They need to look at themselves closely vis-?-vis their course of study and see which training they need to undergo in order to get to where they want to be. Sometimes, they don’t even know where they want to be.”
The idea will abrogate the general belief that Nigerian graduates are unemployable. After the seminar which will serve as diagnostic lab, and the subsequent technical and managerial training which is like the treatment, participants will become automatically employable, not only by member of ATCON, ITAN and NIG, but by any company.
