Chams Plc, Nigeria’s home grown ICT firm with pioneer status in identity management, payment and transactional services has unveiled yet another strategic business unit- ChamsVarsity. A decision made to fulfill its promise of providing world class information technology education.
The setting up of ChamsVarsity is an extension of the company’s vision of creating a strong army of well equipped and knowledgeable ICT professionals who will champion Nigeria’s emergence as an ICT super power.
Dean of ChamsVarsity, Mrs. Omoyemi Oluleye, affirmed this by saying that ChamsVarsity has presently designed a curriculum that extends beyond the technical aspect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), but comprises techno-management courses for industry requirements.
Chams Varsity would boost training modules mapped out to cater for ICT training needs of individual students seeking basic computer knowledge and ICT professionals desirous of filling knowledge gaps or updating ICT skills of their staff especially in the core areas where Chams Plc has core competence, which is identity management, payment and transactional systems, card technology and software development. She noted that this follows on the heels of its pioneering ChamsVarsity management trainee programme; a 5-year old management course with a vast and multi-faceted curriculum.
“We have been training our staff as well as staff from other companies requiring our expertise for years and we finally realized that with our purpose built ChamsCity complexes across Nigeria, over 4,000 internet ready workstations and a corps of well qualified ICT facilitators, we could provide Nigerians with a world class ICT training facility comparable to the best anywhere in the world,” she said.
She pointed out that the institution located inside the multi-purpose ChamsCity buildings in Abuja, Lagos, Benin and Port Harcourt, boasts of a world class faculty with staff drawn from premier ICT universities in the world as well as curriculum that will prepare its students for excellent rich and rewarding career especially in areas of networking, project management, management information systems, amongst others.
