Online Training Website to Offer Web Development Scholarship

An online training start-up, Odurinde.com, is launching its first web development training program and offering a fully funded scholarship to a promising young individual who aspires to become a web developer but cannot afford the training fee. The first cohort of 20 trainee web developers is set to begin in April 2025, with one fully funded place reserved for a deserving candidate.

Web development has become one of the most sought-after skills both nationally and internationally, offering high earning potential. A skilled web developer can earn significantly more than the average salary in Nigeria, and demand for professionals in this field continues to grow. Both local and international companies are actively seeking skilled web developers, making it a career with strong job security.

The fully funded scholarship is the brainchild of Odurinde.com’s founder, Mr. Temi Odurinde. who explained that the idea came from a conversation with a young person eager to become a web developer but unable to afford university tuition or the high costs associated with many online training programs.

“The idea for both the website and the online training scholarship came to me in 2024 during a conversation with a promising young person who wanted to become a web developer but couldn’t afford university tuition or the fees charged by most online training providers. While many training platforms offer installment payment options, some individuals still find it difficult to afford. Our fully funded scholarship is designed specifically for them.”

In recent years, Nigeria’s tech industry has seen a significant boom, with web development and digital services gaining more traction both locally and internationally. Companies are constantly looking for skilled professionals who can build and maintain websites, e-commerce platforms, and digital services. However, the cost of acquiring these skills remains a barrier for many young Nigerians who would otherwise excel in the field.

This is where Odurinde.com hopes to make a difference, by providing a pathway for aspiring developers to receive quality training without financial constraints.

Young people aged 18 and above who wish to apply for the Odurinde.com Web Development Scholarship can find full details, including the application process and start date, on the organisation’s website. The scholarship is described as a complete package—beyond covering the full cost of training, the selected beneficiary will also receive job placement assistance upon completion of the course, helping them secure employment in the field.

In addition to web development training, Odurinde.com, which describes itself as an online training expert, offers a range of courses tailored to digital skills development. The platform provides training in WordPress CMS, where learners can develop the skills needed to build and manage websites efficiently. There are also courses in digital marketing, covering essential strategies such as search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, and paid advertising techniques.

Additionally, the platform offers language training and certification, currently focusing on French and Yoruba, with plans to expand to more languages in the near future. This expansion aligns with the platform’s goal of becoming a comprehensive learning hub for both technology and professional skills.

The Odurinde.com platform, set to officially launch later this year, aims to provide specialized courses not only in technology but also in business and healthcare. This expansion reflects a growing need for accessible online education that can empower individuals across various industries

With the rising demand for skilled developers, Odurinde.com hopes that this scholarship will help bridge the gap, allowing talented individuals to pursue careers in web development, regardless of their financial background.
