THE MINDANAO State University-Iligan Institute of Technology and Bridge Student Center Inc. launched a project that will empower the youth through education and technology.

Dubbed “My.ICT Project,” the initiative is a year-long training program that seeks to bridge the gap between Information and Communications Technology skills and its demand in the workforce.

“Through the project, participants will gain various ICT skills that can help them secure future jobs, as well as learn how to be responsible ICT users,” MSU-IIT said.

The training program will be facilitated by a group of student volunteers of the College of Computer Studies.

They will provide one-on-one mentoring and coaching sessions to participants, sharing their knowledge and experiences as trainers.

“The success of this project will not only benefit the participants but also contribute to the overall progress of the community,” the university said.

“With the My.ICT project, MSU-IIT and The Bridge Student Center Inc. are taking an important step towards realizing its vision of inclusive growth and development,” it added.
