IT Classes At The YACC Already Deemed A Success

On Tuesday the 20th January the Youth Art and Culture Centre opened its gates to allow the public to register for its brand new ICT classes.

‘IT and using computers is a really good skill to have nowadays’, said one applicant, ‘in almost every job you apply for you’re asked for IT comprehension so I’m hoping that this course will help my job options’. And she wasn’t the only one to think this; the majority of people applying for the course were hoping to improve their job prospects and the number of hopeful would-be IT geniuses queued right around the corner, some of whom had been waiting to register since 5am that morning.

The course runs for three months, costing N$360, and covers various aspects of basic IT skills, from using different applications to surfing the net. Unfortunately due to lack of funding and teachers there were only 40 available places for this course but if you didn’t make it this time around don’t worry as there will be another chance to register for the next 3 month course starting in April.

‘I’m just glad the course is so popular’, said a sheepish Jacob Saur, one of the IT Classes at the YACC already de med a success two IT teachers at the YACC, and given the current unemployment rate in Lüderitz, not to mention the impact the credit crunch is having and the ongoing NovaNam strikes, it is commendable to see so many people trying to improve their job situation constructively.
