Igniting a Competitive Spirit: The Platoon Challenge
To make the learning process even more engaging, we introduced the “Platoon Challenge.” Each platoon within the camp competed in teams, tasked with creating a social media campaign to promote a local business or social cause. This challenge allowed corpers to apply their newly acquired skills in a practical setting, fostering teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
The platoons poured their hearts into the challenge, utilizing the knowledge gained from the workshops. Â They conducted market research, designed eye-catching visuals, and crafted compelling social media messages. Â The judging process was a nail-biting affair, with each team showcasing their unique approach. The winning platoon received a special prize, but the true reward was the sense of accomplishment and the valuable skills they developed.
The impact of the training was tangible among the corps members. Many expressed newfound confidence in their ability to navigate the digital landscape. One participant, Joy, shared, “I came into this training with minimal knowledge of coding, but now I feel empowered to pursue a career in software development. The practical sessions were eye-opening and inspiring.“
Moreover, the training fostered a sense of unity and collaboration among the corps members. Group projects and team activities encouraged teamwork and problem-solving skills. By working together on coding challenges and marketing campaigns, participants honed their collaborative abilities, essential for success in the ICT industry.
Beyond technical skills, the training program also emphasized soft skills development. Sessions on communication, time management, and professional etiquette prepared corps members for the workplace environment. Mock interviews and resume building workshops equipped them with the tools to present themselves confidently to potential employers.
In conclusion, Valdymas Intelligence  ICT training at NYSC camp was a resounding success, leaving a lasting impact on the participating corps members.
