Ventures Park, an Industrial Training (IT) establishment is set to partner with the Polytechnic Iresi in IT capacity building with their international project tagged “Operation No Yahoo”.
The project was initiated to correct the stereotype
labelled against the black race, especially Nigerians, for fraudulent
activities like cyber-crime in other to amass ill-gotten wealth. The project is
specifically brought to the Polytechnic Iresi to change the focus and
orientations of the students on how to be gainfully and self-employed, by
equipping them with job creation, self-reliance and entrepreneurial skills
without indulging in illegal activities.
