KSITM Successfully Completes Mandatory Entrepreneurship Skills Acquisition Programme for 582 Students

The Katsina State Institute of Technology and Management (KSITM) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Technical Skills Acquisition Training under the Mandatory Entrepreneurship Skills Acquisition Programme (MESAP), coordinated by the Directorate of Skills Development and Community Services (DSDCS), with a total of 582 students successfully trained across 11 technical and vocational trades. The achievement represents another significant milestone in the Institute's commitment to practical skills development, youth empowerment, entrepreneurship and community development.

The training covered Fashion Design and Garment Making, Photography & Digital Imaging, Hospitality and Catering Services, Graphics Design, CCTV Installation, Satellite Installation, Beauty Therapy, Animation Design, Resin Art & Eco-Craft, Carpentry & Joinery, and Mobile Phones Repair. Through practical demonstrations, hands-on instruction and mentorship, participants acquired relevant competencies designed to enhance their employability, promote self-reliance and prepare them for sustainable career opportunities and the practical skills required in today's labour market.

Beyond technical competencies, the programme incorporated soft skills development to equip participants with essential workplace and entrepreneurial abilities, including effective communication, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, time management, creativity, emotional intelligence and conflict resolution. The integration of these skills recognizes that successful career development requires more than technical expertise; it also demands professionalism, discipline, adaptability and the ability to work effectively with others. The Directorate therefore acknowledges and appreciates the dedication and valuable contributions of the Soft Skills Coordinator Mal. Aliyu Nasir Kankara in ensuring the effective delivery of this important component of the programme.

The Director DSDCS Mal. Saifullahi Lawal also expresses profound appreciation to the Rector of the Institute, Dr. Musa Ahmed Zayyad, for his visionary leadership, unwavering support, encouragement and commitment, which were instrumental to the successful implementation of the training. The Director also acknowledges the cooperation of the Institute's Management, facilitators, mentors, technical instructors, programme coordinators and other stakeholders whose collective efforts contributed immensely to this achievement. Their commitment demonstrates the importance of institutional collaboration in advancing technical and vocational education and training.

As the Directorate celebrates this achievement, it remains committed to consolidating the gains of the programme through continuous skills development, industry partnerships, mentorship, entrepreneurship promotion and initiatives that support beneficiaries in translating their acquired skills into productive livelihoods. The 582 trained students are encouraged to put their knowledge into practice, pursue further professional development and become agents of economic transformation within their communities. Indeed, the MESAP initiative reinforces KSITM's commitment to producing skilled, innovative and self-reliant individuals who can contribute meaningfully to sustainable economic growth.
