Education contributes to the full development of the human personality; it helps us to pursue truth, make sense of the world and our place in it, and prepares us to use knowledge and skills as a means to engage responsibly with the life of our times. It is a basic human right that must be protected, respected, and fulfilled.

Workmate digital has contributed to this year’s theme of International Youth day: Transforming Education via its E-learning platform where the members of the club access training and learning resources for online jobs such as Data entry, Transcribing, Web design, Graphics and many more.

The regularly held Skills Transfer Program also contributes a lot in ensuring that the workmates get the best from the platform. These trainings have gone a long way in inspiring and motivating the workmates to be the best in their different areas of specialization and also push them to venture in other areas in the vast world of online jobs and skills hence creating a pool of online workers.
