More than 60 high school and higher education students in Huambo province started a training cycle linked to new technologies, training as part of the 2nd phase of the training plan for youth, which aims to train high school and higher education students with practical and theoretical content on the new information and communication technologies.
Organized by the Angola Media Library Network (REMA) and the Telecommunications Institute (ITEL), the training lasts five days and where trainees will be trained, free of charge, in technical-professional courses in Graphic Design, Computer Repair and Video Surveillance, with 20 students each.
The idea of training also involves encouraging youth entrepreneurship, with a focus on promoting self-employment.
The two institutions also launched the opening of the provincial programming contest, with groups of 16 subscribers, in an initiative aimed at promoting activities on new information and communication technologies among young people.
