This is aimed at steering a paradigm shift within the
Nigerian educational ecosystem in a bid to champion educational accessibility
and innovation.
The strategic launch of the ProjKonnect App aims to further
contribute towards developing a new generation of Nigerian youths, particularly
university undergraduates, who are equipped with the required skill sets
necessary to compete in the 21st century, favourably.
This is made evident as the mobile app is built to
creatively incorporate a set of advanced tools which enable corporate entities
to contribute to its courses in order to make them match global industry
standards while also providing Nigerian youths with the opportunity to gain
practical experiences upon completion of the courses.
Commenting on the rationale behind the launch of the
ProjKonnect App, Paul Ojo, chief executive officer of ProjKonnect Integrated
Systems Limited, said that the core goal the organisation intended to achieve
revolved around uplifting the Nigerian educational standards in order to propel
the country’s youth into strategic roles on the global scene.
“The major driving force behind the creation of the
ProjKonnect App reiterates our thorough commitment, as an edutech entity,
towards the advancement of the Nigerian educational sector which is solely
hinged on upskilling the competencies of an average Nigerian youth. This aligns
with our overall objective which seeks to ensure that learning across our
digital platforms matches either the academic or professional needs of every
student nationwide. To this end, the app also leverages the power of artificial
intelligence to effectively cater for the futuristic educational demands of
Nigerian youths,” he said.
ProjKonnect transcends beyond being a generic educational
platform as it utilises high-powered digital technologies to help bridge the
skills gap that Nigerian youths need to be competitive in the global market.
The app is, therefore, designed to serve as a viable pipeline for the
acquisition of soft skills for Nigerian youths.
