Latest News Reporters Opens Internship Opportunities for Benin Skill Fest Participants

Media platform Latest News Reporters has announced internship opportunities for participants trained in web design and graphic design at the recently concluded Benin Skill Fest 2026, creating new pathways for young digital talents in Edo State.

The event, held on April 24, 2026, at the University of Benin, was organised by The Hive Network Africa. The organisation, led by its founder, Alex Adams, empowered over 600 young people with free access to practical digital training, mentorship and career development opportunities.

As part of efforts to ensure participants move beyond learning into real career opportunities, Latest News Reporters said it is now offering internship placements to students trained in web design and graphic design during the programme.

The organisation noted that many young Nigerians complete digital training programmes without clear opportunities to apply their skills in real work environments. It said the internship initiative is designed to close that gap by giving selected candidates practical exposure in website development, digital publishing, graphic design and media-related projects.

Successful applicants are expected to gain hands-on experience, mentorship and opportunities to strengthen their portfolios while preparing for long-term careers in the digital economy.

Benin Skill Fest 2026 featured several in-demand digital skill tracks and was delivered in partnership with Webbiit Technologies, which provided professional training and mentorship support to participants. The programme was offered free of charge to ensure broader access for young people seeking valuable digital skills.

Stakeholders have described the internship opportunity as one of the immediate success stories from the event, demonstrating how skill development initiatives can create direct pathways to employment and entrepreneurship.

With youth unemployment remaining a pressing challenge in Nigeria, initiatives that combine practical training with real work opportunities continue to gain recognition as sustainable solutions for empowering the next generation.
