Seeing this, the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, has officially shared the opening of the next DeepTech Ready group under the 3MTT (3 Million Technical Talents) program.
What is the DeepTech Ready Program?
The DeepTech Ready program is a special path within the larger 3MTT project. While the main goal is to teach basic digital skills to people across the country, the DeepTech group is made specifically for those ready to work on very difficult and advanced tasks.
The lessons focus on:
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Learning how to build smart computer systems.
Data Science: Using large amounts of information to make better choices and new ideas.
New Technologies: Looking into blockchain, smart devices (IoT), and advanced computer tools.
Why This Matters for Nigeria
According to Dr Tijani, the program is "made to give you real-world skills and practical experience." This is not just about reading books; it is about building a group of workers who can create answers for local problems. From bank security to using AI to help farmers grow more food. By joining, Nigerians are not just looking for jobs; they are becoming the builders of the country’s digital future.
How to Apply and Get Involved
The application steps are made simple so that hardworking, talented people can start learning as quickly as possible. If you are a coder, someone who loves data, or a tech worker looking to move into advanced technology, this is your time to start.
