Digital Skills / School Partnership
Learnexity Digital Skills Partnership – Premier Secondary School, Ukehe
In partnership with Learnexity, a structured one-term digital skills intervention was delivered to 50 SS3 students at Premier Secondary School, Ukehe, Igbo-Etiti LGA. The program was embedded directly into the school calendar, giving students consistent, progressive exposure to four key digital disciplines: Google productivity tools, graphic design, front-end web development, and digital marketing. Rather than treating the training as an extracurricular add-on, the program was designed to mirror a professional learning track - with students building real skills over an entire term rather than attending a one-off workshop. At the close of the term, all 50 students sat a computer-based test (CBT) to assess their learning outcomes. The top 10 performers were identified and selected for placement in Learnexity's advanced online program, where they continued into specialised tracks covering digital marketing, front-end development, video editing, and UI/UX design. This pipeline - from school-level foundation training to advanced online education - made the program one of the most structured and outcome-driven youth digital skills initiatives delivered in the LGA
Challenge
Secondary school students in Igbo-Etiti LGA had little to no structured exposure to digital skills within the formal school system. While tech training existed in the LGA, it rarely reached students while they were still in school, and even fewer programs offered a credible pathway from foundational learning to advanced, career-relevant training. Students in SS3 - on the cusp of leaving secondary education - were particularly at risk of entering the wider world without the digital competencies increasingly required by employers and higher institutions.
Solution
Working with Learnexity, I co-designed and delivered a term-long, school-embedded program that brought structured digital education directly into Premier Secondary School. The curriculum was built around four in-demand skill areas, delivered progressively over the term. A CBT assessment at the close of the program created a credible, merit-based selection process, and the top 10 students were transitioned into Learnexity's advanced online learning environment - ensuring the program had a clear, structured pathway beyond the classroom
Results
50 SS3 students trained across four digital skill areas over one full term. All 50 students completed the program and sat CBT assessments. 10 top performers were selected and enrolled in Learnexity's advanced online program. Selected students continued into specialised tracks in digital marketing, front-end development, video editing, and UI/UX design. The program established a replicable model for school-embedded digital skills delivery with a merit-based advancement pathway
