share the knowledge and skills I have acquired in order to help them achieve their career goals in IT.

In my home country Cameroon, we face a lot of bribery and corruption, therefore IT systems have to be
put in place by IT experts, in order to nullify the damages caused corruption within the government. As
earlier mentioned, the Skills acquired will play a vital role in solving illiteracy, unemployment and lack of
IT skills within my home country.
My short and medium-term career plans will involve getting employment and setting up a trainer center
