Trail Alley has announced the opening of registration for its upcoming Tech Skill-Up Program, a four-week, fully virtual mentorship initiative designed to help young people build practical, in-demand digital skills in Graphic Design, Content Marketing, Video Editing with Capcut and Digital Literacy.
The next cohort is now open, with applications closing on January 31, 2026. Classes are scheduled to commence from 6th February to 6th March, 2026.
The program is part of Trail Alley’s ongoing effort to make digital skills more accessible to beginners, recent graduates, corp members and career switchers who are eager to break into the digital space but may not know where to start. Participation in the program is completely free, with only 200 slots available for this cohort.
According to Trail Alley, the Tech Skill-Up Program focuses on non-coding digital skills that are immediately useful in today’s digital economy. Over the course of four weeks, participants will receive guided mentorship and hands-on training in areas such as digital literacy, graphic design using Canva, video editing with CapCut, and content marketing.
Each learning track is structured to support beginners, with practical projects and live sessions led by experienced professionals.
Duty Osamudiamen, founder of Trail Alley, shared that the fully virtual nature of the program allows anyone within Nigeria to participate.
“Since the program is entirely online, anyone within Nigeria can access the four weeks of training. Our goal is that by the end of the program, participants feel confident enough to pitch their skills to businesses and brands, or even begin building strong personal brands of their own,” she said.
In addition to the above stated, learners will gain access to Trail Alley’s growing community of over 300 digital learners, helping them to lean into peer support, collaborate and grow with professionals with years experience.
Participants who complete the program will also receive full course access and take part in practical projects designed to build real-world confidence.
