The Peered Camp Manifesto
PEERED CAMP is a peer to peer intensive training tech skill acquisition program that brings local expert around a community to teach young talents of that community soft skill within a period of two weeks.
We are trying to build a platform that will run more like a network where young talents get to grow and interact with expert and established talents in their distinctive field.
BACKGROUND
In Nigeria today, there is a growing need for technology talents in the field of Computer science and other ICT related field. Our belief is that the tertiary institutions we have are not enough as innovation continues to thrive and ideas for solutions to problems continue to rise. We belief encouraging tech related talents and skill acquisition programs will further help in developing and establishing a frontier for self-pursuant of the skill set needed in overcoming this talent scarcity challenge Nigeria technology ecosystem faces. By this doing, we believe we are helping students from this community transition into a tech career.
SOLUTION
We have confidence in the fact that by creating a 2 weeks intensive program, we can help students and exclusive members of this community. We are also contributing to the integral core of supporting on-going efforts to develop the Nigerian tech ecosystem in a little way that we can.
We are assured that by introducing young students who are enthusiasts and beginners to our quality and quantitative skill set of cultured courses, they will be benefitting in a whole new way. We have outlined a way of doing this by selecting a group of local experts of whom some are students of this University community with excellent track record and with passion to bring up other enthusiastic talents coming behind them.
We also believe the addition of a carefully selected number of facilitators/instructors combined with a streamlined intensive curriculum will work out a steep learning curve for our participants. The courses/skills we will be taking are five for now so as not to encumber ourselves with too much. The courses are User Interface Design/User Experience, Graphics Design, Growth Hacking, Web development (Front End/Back End) and Wordpress Development. We believe all of these courses are what we can handle for now and vouch of the quality of instructors.
To create better value for what we do, we decided to invite local brand figures in the industry that we are, to have a 45 minutes interactive session with our participants and engage them about the reality of their line of work. The sessions will feature everyday throughout the 2 weeks camping.
