Teachers have been urged to leverage expanding online EduTech for skills enhancement.
Trace Academia App’s Managing Director, Danny Mucira, asserted that teachers acquiring skills through the platform can broaden their capacities.
“These courses empower educators with diverse expertise, transferrable to students, enhancing their prospects in higher education, varied careers, and entrepreneurship,” Mucira stated.
He added that the comprehensive knowledge, blending academics and entrepreneurship, lays a robust foundation.
Additionally, Mucira asserted that this equips learners with contemporary digital skills, crucial for work, business, and commerce.
He further noted the pandemic’s disruptive impact, but views it as a catalyst for digital education adoption.
Trace Academia, utilizing edutainment, deepens learners’ interest in skills-based lessons via interactive digital technology.
The pandemic’s work-from-home shift, facilitated by digital tech, prompts employers to value skills alongside academic qualifications.
Recognizing this shift, various organizations offer free digital courses.
Mucira emphasized that digital skills from platforms like Trace Academia are essential for teachers, workers, and students, aligning with the digital technology-driven work landscape.
He envisions formal recognition of skills under the government’s Recognition of Prior Learning Scheme.
These recognized skills provide equal opportunities for employment in public and private sectors, fostering self-employment in commerce.
Mucira highlighted the platform’s credibility, with courses certified by industry leaders such as Google, L’Oreal Foundation, and UNESCO.
He encourages educators, students, and professionals to embrace this free learning platform, emphasizing its skills-based, lifelong learning approach.
The engaging content, curated with expertise from reputable organizations, ensures a dynamic and enjoyable learning experience.
