Epe Local Government has launched an AI Literacy and Creative Empowerment Training Programme to equip young people with practical digital skills and prepare them for opportunities in the rapidly evolving digital economy.
Epe Insights reports that the initiative, organised in partnership with Fred the Philomath Concepts, is designed to provide participants with hands-on knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital innovation, and other emerging technologies that are shaping the future of work.
The programme targets youths across Epe Local Government, creating opportunities for them to acquire globally relevant skills regardless of their educational or professional background.
According to the organisers, no prior knowledge of Artificial Intelligence is required, making the training accessible to every interested participant.
The initiative is expected to expose participants to the practical application of AI tools that improve productivity, creativity, and problem-solving across different industries.
Participants will also receive training in prompt engineering, one of the most sought-after digital skills in today’s technology-driven economy.
The programme includes practical sessions on digital content creation, enabling young people to develop valuable skills for communication, branding, and online business.
Another major component of the training focuses on ethical Artificial Intelligence, helping participants understand the responsible and safe use of AI technologies.
Organisers explained that the programme is structured to prepare young people for emerging career opportunities while encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship.
The initiative reflects Epe Local Government’s commitment to empowering youths with knowledge that can improve employability and support economic development.
Officials noted that digital literacy has become increasingly important as Artificial Intelligence continues to transform education, business, healthcare, agriculture, media, and public service.
They emphasised that equipping young people with future-ready skills remains essential to building a competitive workforce capable of thriving in the global digital economy.
The training programme is expected to inspire participants to explore new ideas, create innovative solutions, and develop businesses powered by modern technology.
Young entrepreneurs will also benefit from practical knowledge that can improve business operations, customer engagement, and digital marketing.
The organisers encouraged interested youths from across Epe Local Government to take advantage of the opportunity to build valuable digital competencies.
They explained that Artificial Intelligence is no longer limited to technology professionals but has become a useful tool for individuals across various careers and industries.
By introducing participants to AI applications, the programme seeks to bridge the digital skills gap and prepare the next generation for the future workplace.
Community stakeholders have welcomed the initiative, describing it as a timely investment in youth development and human capital.
Many believe that programmes focusing on digital education will contribute to reducing unemployment by equipping young people with practical and marketable skills.
The training is also expected to promote creativity, independent thinking, collaboration, and innovation among participants.
Beyond technical knowledge, the programme aims to nurture confidence and encourage young people to embrace technology as a tool for personal and professional growth.
Officials reaffirmed that youth empowerment remains a priority of the current administration, with continued investments in programmes that encourage education, innovation, and self-reliance.
They stressed that preparing young people for the digital economy requires strategic partnerships and sustained investments in technology-driven learning initiatives.
The collaboration with Fred the Philomath Concepts reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to quality digital education and practical AI training within Epe Local Government.
As technology continues to reshape economies around the world, initiatives such as the AI Literacy and Creative Empowerment Training Programme will provide young people with the knowledge needed to compete confidently in local and international markets.
Residents have commended the initiative for creating new opportunities for learning and innovation while positioning Epe as a community that embraces digital transformation.
The programme is expected to inspire participants to become creators, innovators, entrepreneurs, and responsible users of emerging technologies.
