SSGIF exposed me to quite a number of AI tools which I didn't know how to use before I came for the training, where I was taught the basics of AI tools. This has made me a better person and even given me the opportunity to do some small jobs remotely without going anywhere to look for a job. I'm very grateful to the SSGIF team and sponsors for this great opportunity to learn these relevant AI skills.

AI Tools Bootcamp: Before the SSGIF training, I was familiar with ChatGPT and NotebookLM. The bootcamp expanded my knowledge with tools like Gemini, Nano Banana, Suno, Canva Pro AI, and Veo 3, while teaching me prompt engineering, AI image generation, AI-powered advertising, educational video creation, AI music production, web app design, digital fashion basics, and how to monetize these skills through social media marketing.
Project Management: I learned the fundamentals of project management, a field I had no prior knowledge of. I strongly recommend SSGIF to anyone seeking professional skills for career advancement and encourage individuals and organizations to continue supporting its vision.

The SSGIF Training has taught me a lot of practical ways to add AI tools to my everyday life. I used to think AI was just an alternative search engine, but now I know it can do so much more than that when used correctly. I'm also learning the basics of data analytics and how it makes arranging data easier.
