Renowned hip hop artist Fredokiss has been appointed as the champion of Celestial City project under which they will provide technological skills to the youth in the country.
This comes few days when
Celestial City through the Ministry embarked on the project that will see
youths in the country being equipped with technological initiatives.
Fredokiss has been appointed as the champion for the project,
having been instrumental in working with young people and artists in different
initiatives.
Through his artistry, Fredokiss has inspired and motivated many
young people in the country, encouraging them to work hard and utilize their
potential.
Following his appointment, Fredokiss last Thursday presented a technological skills document to Ministry of Labour.
Speaking after receiving the proposal from Celestial City, Minister of Labour Vera Kamtukule said her ministry recognizes the potential of the creative sector in job creation as well as skills development. She said she was optimistic that the project would benefit many youths and that the proposal was in line with the job creation strategy that is focusing on the impact of the youth in achieving the respective objectives.
“The youth are an integral part in building the nation as long
as they have the skills and are well trained. This proposal, I feel, will
enable youths to be employed remotely, thus providing labour compensation
inflows in line with the government’s job creation strategy,” Kamtukule said.
Fredokiss, real name Penjani Kalua, said he was happy that the
government through Ministry of Labour had partnered Celestial City.
Through the proposal, the
platform also plans on hosting concerts for major and independent artists
globally.
“I feel we all have a part to play. I am looking forward to the
implementation of this project and to see youths benefitting,” Fredokiss said.
Celestial City is an initial song offering platform built on Web
3.0, which is the third generation of internet services for websites and
applications that will focus on using a machine-based understanding of data to
provide data-driven and semantic web results.
