From Scriptures to Spreadsheet: Training Future priests for digital mission

In a significant stride toward enhancing digital literacy among future leaders, CSAAE recently conducted a comprehensive training session at the Prestigious Seat of Wisdom Major Seminary Ulakwo Imo State, Nigeria where over 1,000 seminarians were introduced to the fundamentals of Data Analytics and Google Workspace. This initiative falls under CSAAE’s Digital Skilling and Employment Project (DSEP); a funded project by the Coca-Cola Foundation designed to equip young minds with the necessary digital skills to thrive in today’s data-driven world.

Through practical, hands-on learning, participants gained insights into the fundamentals of data analytics and how to efficiently use Google Spreadsheets for data organization, analysis, and presentation. The interactive nature of the workshop ensured that the seminarians could immediately apply what they learned.

The event was graced by the Vice Rector of Seat of Wisdom Seminary, -Rev Fr.

He expressed his satisfaction with the depth of knowledge imparted and the enthusiasm displayed by the participants.
