HBM Nigeria, a leading Nigerian technology company, has expanded its commitment to inclusivity by launching the second cohort of its 2026 skills training program for 120 persons with disabilities. According to Businessday NG, this initiative aims to equip individuals with diverse abilities to thrive in the digital world. The first cohort, launched earlier this year, was met with success and has inspired this expansion. This program, which takes place in Lagos, offers training in areas such as software development, data analytics, and digital marketing. The training is designed to bridge the gap between the skills needed in the technology sector and those possessed by persons with disabilities, thereby creating a more inclusive workforce. Why it matters: This initiative underscores HBM Nigeria’s commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in the tech industry. By providing opportunities for persons with disabilities, HBM Nigeria is not only contributing to the growth of the industry but also fostering a more equitable society. This move sets a positive precedent for other tech companies to follow suit.
