Nigerian youths and professionals are set to gain a major boost in their quest for globally competitive technology skills as Aptech Computer Education Nigeria unveils a new all-in-one Artificial Intelligence (AI) career programme.
The initiative is designed to address one of Nigeria’s most pressing challenges — the widening skills gap in the digital economy. With artificial intelligence increasingly shaping industries such as finance, healthcare, education, and manufacturing, the programme aims to equip Nigerian learners with job-ready technology skills that meet both local and international market demands.
In this vein, Aptech recently unveiled a new all-in-one Artificial Intelligence (AI) career programme designed to equip Nigerian learners with job-ready technology skills, structured internship opportunities, and clear progression routes to international degrees.
The programme, known as ADSE AI, integrates AI-powered training, hands-on projects, and mentorship with opportunities for eligible students to gain industry exposure through a structured, paid internship scheme. It also provides defined academic pathways to degree completion with partner institutions abroad, positioning the initiative as a comprehensive solution from classroom to career.
According to the company, the programme embeds AI across the learning journey, enabling students to learn, apply, and demonstrate skills through real-world projects and portfolio development. The curriculum combines future-focused content with practical delivery at Aptech centres nationwide.
To support academic advancement, Aptech said eligible learners can progress to degree programmes through partnerships with Middlesex University (UK), Lincoln University College (Malaysia), NCC Education (UK), Bangor University (UK), and ISM Germany, among others. The pathways allow students to transition from advanced diploma stages to internationally recognised qualifications.
The ADSE AI curriculum is powered by generative AI and focuses on applying AI to real workflows, including AI-integrated programming, prompt design, model-assisted coding, and responsible AI use. Learners are trained in Python, automation, data pipelines, visualisation, and cloud fundamentals using AI-enabled tools aligned with modern industry environments.
Commenting on the launch, Kallol Mukherjee, executive vice president, International Business at Aptech Limited, said the initiative reflects the organisation’s focus on employability.
“At Aptech, our mission is to make students employable with the latest skills and clear outcomes. This holistic programme brings GenAI into the heart of our proven ADSE pathway, adds structured internship opportunities for eligible students, and opens international degree routes—so learners can build and succeed faster in the real world,” he said.
The programme targets school leavers, graduates, working professionals seeking to reskill into software, data, or cloud roles, as well as entrepreneurs and creators looking to leverage AI for rapid prototyping and product development.
