Samdpin
Maritime Limited partnered with the Institute under its National
Techno-entrepreneurship Development Initiative to train 30 unemployed youths
who are repentant militants.
The
training took place at the Little Paradise Hotel, Effurun, Delta State from 8th
January to 10th January, 2016. The participants were grouped into
three groups based on their technologies of interest. The three technologies
are: Fish Smoking, Cassava Processing and Fruit Juice production. The
technologies were carefully selected based on raw materials of relative abundance
in Delta State and ease of setting up by participants after the training.
Apart
from the technical component, the participants were also exposed to the
management component of entrepreneurial skill so that they will be able to set
up and manage their enterprises with relative ease.
The management modules
include: Product Marketing; Product Cost Element; Productivity Improvement and
Starting and Managing Business. Both the organizer and the participants
expressed their profound appreciation to the Institute for the well packaged
programme that gave the participants the opportunity to produce the products by
themselves after demonstration by the instructors. Some of the participants
could not contain their joy; they promised to contact the Institute on further
steps to take (most especially equipment fabrication and installation) to
realizing their ambition to be their own bosses and employers of labour.
The
organizer, i.e. Samdpin Maritime Limited also commended the Institute for
effective delivery of the training modules and promised to provide the link
between the Institute and the participants until they fully realize their goals
of setting up their own enterprises.
