Danfootwear Collection Skill Acquisition Workshop is set to equip students, graduates and aspiring entrepreneurs with practical skills as part of efforts to bridge the gap between academic education and self-reliance.
The skill acquisition programme will hold from 24 to 29 August at Rumuolumeni Town Hall, Iwofe, Port Harcourt. Sir Seyi Daniel Dauda, chief executive officer of Danfootwear Collection, will lead the programme.
Organisers say the workshop will focus on balancing formal education with practical skills. The initiative aims to help participants gain useful skills they can apply beyond the classroom.
Participants will receive hands-on training in footwear production, including shoes and slippers. They will also learn how to make bags and produce belts.
In addition, the programme will introduce participants to leather craftsmanship and the proper use of leather-working tools.
The organisers will also teach entrepreneurship and business development. Participants will learn about material selection, product finishing, marketing and other areas needed to build a sustainable business.
According to the organisers, the practical sessions will feature modern leather-working techniques. The training will also allow participants to work directly with materials and tools.
The Danfootwear Collection Skill Acquisition Workshop is open to students, graduates, entrepreneurs and anyone interested in learning practical skills.
Registration is free for the first 100 students. However, interested participants are encouraged to register early because the free slots are limited.
The organisers say the programme reflects a growing need to combine academic knowledge with practical abilities. While formal education remains important, practical skills can help young people create opportunities and develop independent sources of income.
The Danfootwear Collection Skill Acquisition Workshop therefore seeks to give participants more than classroom knowledge. It combines technical training with entrepreneurship and business guidance.
Those seeking further information can contact the organisers on 07010426326 or 09135966864.
The programme’s message is straightforward: learn, practise and build the skills needed to succeed.
