Skills that Match Market Demands

Our Training pillar is built on a simple principle: Learning must lead to earning. In a context where many youth graduate with certificates but no practical skills, we step in to provide training that is relevant, hands-on, and aligned with the realities of today’s job market.

We offer vocational and professional training programs that bridge the gap between theoretical education and real-world application. Our programs equip youth with practical abilities that lead directly to employment or self-employment, particularly in fields that are high in demand and low in access.

Through our network of industry experts, vocational institutions, and technical mentors, DTN offers training in:

• ICT and Artificial Intelligence tools

• Digital literacy and online platforms

• Entrepreneurship and business development

• Trades like carpentry, welding, catering, tailoring, and hospitality services

Our goal is to ensure that youth don’t just acquire skills—they acquire marketable skills, with the capacity to generate income, fill gaps in the labor market, and contribute meaningfully to economic development.

We prioritize:

• Hands-on training and apprenticeship programs

• Professional certification for credibility and employability

• Real business incubation models and mentorship

• Inclusion of vulnerable youth, especially girls, dropouts, and the underemployed

In a world where technical expertise often outweighs academic degrees in practical value, DTN’s training programs help youth move from uncertainty to productivity.
