In a bold move to address the growing unemployment crisis in Nigeria and empower individuals with essential workplace skills, Data Entry Academy emerges as a beacon of transformative education. Founded by Chioma Ifeanyi-Eze, a seasoned Chartered Accountant and entrepreneur, the academy is making significant strides in bridging the digital and workplace skills gap prevalent in Nigerian and African adults.
Data Entry Academy was born out of Chioma Ifeanyi-Eze’s unwavering belief that the unemployment issue in Nigeria is rooted in the lack of employability skills rather than a shortage of opportunities.

Going beyond technical skills, the curriculum imparts crucial workplace skills such as inventory management, stocktaking, proposal writing, business process automation, report writing, and workplace ethics.
Data Entry Academy caters to a broad audience, including recent graduates seeking employability, young professionals aspiring for career growth, stay-at-home mothers and older graduates desiring self-reliance, and entrepreneurs looking to enhance their business operations.
The academy boasts an impressive track record, having trained 8939 participants in 12 batches, with over 80% of students being female.
