NITDA-Coursera Scholarship
NITDA
has partnered with Coursera to offer learning scholarships that will enable
Nigerian citizens to obtain professional certifications from some of the
world's leading multinational tech companies (e.g. Meta, Google, IBM) and top
ranked US universities.
Applicants
are to select one certification program each from Category A and Category B
that they wish to be enrolled in.
Category A (IT Career Pathway) offers a total of 19 professional certification
programs to help you kickstart a successful IT career. Each program comprises a
series of related courses focused on providing deep knowledge and hands-on
skills required for employment. When you complete each individual course within
the program, you'll earn a certificate of completion. However, the professional
certification will be earned when you have completed all the required courses
in the program.
Category B (Complementary Skills
Pathway) offers 4 certification
programs for you to choose from to complement your IT career skills and sharpen
your use of digital productivity tools, entrepreneurship, or freelancing
skills.
You
may click on the attached program links below to read about the professional
certifications before making your choice. Successful applicants will receive a
Coursera license in their provided email in the form of a joining link. They
will then be able to join the program and enroll on a course by clicking on
that link.
