Applications for the Digital Skills for Entrepreneurs (DSE) course in Abuja, Kano, Rivers and Lagos is open.
The Digital Skills for Entrepreneurs (DSE) course is more than just a training—it’s a gateway to digital transformation for women and youth-led businesses in Nigeria.
Accredited by NITDA, this 8-week hybrid course equips entrepreneurs with practical digital skills in:
✔️ Digital Marketing
✔️ E-commerce
✔️ Social Media Management
✔️ Entrepreneurs Mindset in a Digital Economy
✔️ Supply Chain and Logistics
✔️ Financial management
✔️ Mobilising Resources, Talents, Technology and Partnerships and more.
Participants also learn how to create a Digital Transformation Roadmap tailored to their business, explore innovative business models like dropshipping and affiliate marketing, and gain hands-on experience with real-world tools.
Why it matters
MSMEs represent 96% of businesses and nearly 75% of employment in Nigeria, yet many—especially those owned and led by women—lack the digital skills needed to scale. With a national target of 95% digital literacy by 2030, DSE is a timely and inclusive solution designed to close that gap.
Who is it for?
Women, youth, and persons with disabilities (PWDs) leading registered businesses operating for at least 3 years. The course is inclusive, accessible, and action-oriented.
The Impact
DSE empowers participants to grow revenue, create jobs, and participate meaningfully in the digital economy—contributing directly to National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS) targets of 70% digital literacy by 2027, and 95% by 2030 spearheaded by NITDA Nigeria. Most importantly, it helps close the gender digital divide and drives more inclusive economic transformation in Nigeria.
Whether you’re a policymaker, development partner, or ecosystem enabler, #DSE is an initiative to watch—and support.
