Our Role as a Training Partner
Ai Multimedia was selected in December 2021 as one of the training partners that will implement the LSETF-USADF Employability project. Our mandate is to train 150 youth in Lagos State and place 50% of the trainees in paid job placement for the period of 3 months. To achieve this objective we partnered with significant number of companies and organizations in Lagos as job placement partners and at the end of the training we successfully placed the required number of the trainees in job.
