The Enugu State Government has announced the commencement of the Enugu VSAT Training Program 2025, a free capacity-building initiative designed to equip young people and professionals with hands-on technical skills in satellite communications, installation, and broadband (VSAT) technology.
The program, organized in partnership with the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NIGCOMSAT) and the Office of Digital Economy & MSMEs, aims to create a digitally skilled workforce in Enugu State. According to the organizers, “Selected participants will receive free training, mentorship, and certification endorsed by NIGCOMSAT.”
VSAT, which stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal, is a satellite-based communication system that provides internet access and data services in areas where regular infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable. The program will run for seven days, offering practical lessons on VSAT installation, configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting, and real-world telecom applications.
Officials say the initiative supports the digital economy vision of His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, as part of efforts to position Enugu as a hub for ICT growth. “This training is part of our ongoing commitment to empower residents with digital and technical skills that open new career and entrepreneurship opportunities,” the Office of Digital Economy & MSMEs stated.
The Enugu VSAT Training Program 2025 offers participants access to high-demand skills that align with Nigeria’s growing broadband and telecom sector. Applicants must be between 18 and 35 years old, reside in Enugu State, and hold at least an SSCE qualification. A background or interest in ICT, engineering, or telecoms is also required.
