Soul food ministries trains 900 youth in ICT

The Soul Food Ministries International (SFMI), has recently trained 900 youth in Information Communication Technology (ICT), under its “Free for all ICT training initiative”.

Pastor Eddie Letsa, General Overseer of SFMI, said the training was to provide free ICT education for the youth as a means of rendering them employable skills in information technology.

He said the project, which has been in existence for the past three-and-a half years, was a non-denominational training package to educate the youth in various information technological programmes.

Pastor Letsa, who said these to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Accra on Monday, explained that the church was executing the project to improve the welfare of young people in society.

He said: “SFMI provides training as a way of empowering and providing skills to support people's lives”.

Pastor Letsa said the training was not being conducted for only members of the church, but the general public could take advantage of it and improve on the standards of living.

The training programme which started in 2009 has help students to graduate programmes, including Computer Hardware, Microsoft 2003, Computer Networking, Cisco Certified Network Administration, Linux SLED and SQL.

Pastor Letsa said 4,115 students have benefited from the project since its inception, and appealed to corporate institutions, philanthropists interested in training the youth in ICT to partner the church, to provide employable skill to young people.
