MBABANE – Students of the Institute of Development Management (IDM) Eswatini are implored to seize the extraordinary opportunity presented by MTN Eswatini’s partnership with Coursera, a leading platform for online education.
This was said by IDM Eswatini Country Director Karabo Baipidi yesterday (May 2, 2024) during MTN visits to IDM to share details about their skills academy that houses lots of compelling courses such as time management, financial planning, Google suite, speaking and presentation, among many others.
This offered a unique opportunity for the students to ask and enquire about how to utilise this platform to attain skills to get that competitive edge in preparation for the job market. This platform is available through MTN’s collaboration with Coursera, which allows for Emaswati to benefit from free training online programmes from esteemed global universities.
Speaking on behalf of the institution, Baipidi urged students to capitalise on the myriad of opportunities presented by MTN Eswatini’s Skills Academy. Baipidi implored the students to embrace the digital revolution, suggesting that they start by establishing a presence on LinkedIn, where they could create an impressive online profile that could garner invaluable skills, endorsements, and potential recruitment opportunities. This initiative, Baipidi postulated, would allow students to cultivate essential skills for the modern job market, where digital proficiency and adaptability were increasingly crucial to success.
