Digital Skills & CBT Preparedness Program
The OB Lulu-Briggs Center of Innovation delivers a structured, tiered
digital skills and examination preparedness program designed to
improve digital literacy, academic performance, and early career
readiness among young people within its host communities.
The program combines foundational ICT training, productivity skills,
specialized digital pathways, and Computer-Based Test (CBT)
preparation, ensuring learners are not only digitally competent, but
academically and professionally prepared.
Program Structure
This foundational tier introduces learners to essential computer
knowledge and digital literacy. Participants gain hands-on familiarity
with computer systems, operating environments, keyboarding skills, and
responsible technology use
The course is designed especially for first-time users and students
preparing for computer-based academic work and examinations.
Building on foundational knowledge, this tier equips learners with
practical productivity skills using widely adopted tools such as:
● Microsoft Word (documentation and assignments)
● Microsoft Excel (basic data handling and calculations)
● Microsoft PowerPoint (presentations and visual communication)
Emphasis is placed on academic relevance, functional digital competence, and everyday productivity.
Option A: Digital Multimedia Specialisation
This pathway introduces learners to visual communication, basic graphic
design, and multimedia tools, building creative confidence and digital
expression skills.
Option B: Content Creation & Digital Business
This pathway focuses on digital content development, online
communication, branding fundamentals, and introductory digital
enterprise skills, providing early exposure to the digital economy.
Target Beneficiaries
The program is designed to serve:
● Secondary school students (SS1–SS3)
● Young people within the host communities who are willing andmotivated to learn
The Center prioritizes access, inclusion, and early skills exposure,particularly for learners who may otherwise lack access to digital infrastructure.
CBT Examination Support & Academic Preparedness
In addition to skills training, the OB Lulu-Briggs Center of Innovation organizes Computer-Based Test (CBT) mock examinations to prepare candidates for JAMB, WAEC, NECO, and other computer-based assessments.
These mock examinations are conducted in a simulated exam environment to help learners:
● Gain familiarity with CBT formats and navigation
● Improve speed, accuracy, and confidence
● Reduce examination anxiety through practice
A key objective of this initiative is to provide local access to a standard CBT facility, ensuring that candidates no longer need to travel to Port Harcourt or other neighbouring Local Government Areas to sit for their examinations
