Foxconn Goes to Brazil with $12b to Create 100,000 Jobs. Nigeria Must Attract Factories and Not Just Sales Offices

0

Foxconn Technology – the Taipei-based Taiwan company that assembles iPhone, IPad and many other electronic gadgets which are sold all over the world is investing $12 billion in Brazil. It has the potential to create 100,000 jobs, according to Brazilian officials. Brazil will offer tax incentives to electronics products makers in an effort to attract high-tech manufacturing into the nation.

 

As President Jonathan relishes in his re-election, this is the opportunity to get Nigeria ready so that such companies can invest in the nation and provide opportunities for our citizens.  Instead of attracting many companies that come to sell and run sales offices in Nigeria, the likes of Foxconn that will actually build factories is what we should be targeting.

 

But for this to happen, many things must happen. Nigeria must revamp its education, develop strong intellectual property rights, and provide necessary infrastructure. Until we have all these challenges fixed, opportunities like Foxconn will not be discussed in our terrain.

 

As wage rises in China and Asia, Nigeria with its population is well positioned to take advantage of these developments if it can position itself very. Just as KenCall Kenya has offered a lower cost alternative to European and North American call centers, the future of outsourcing could indeed be in Africa, because our wages are still comparatively low. There are many factories in Shenzhen in China that will examine the opportunity in Nigeria if we get the system ready, to invest. And Jonathan must do that.

 

 

Today Is a Special Focus on Kenyan Companies And What They Are Doing

Today, we are largely focusing on Kenya. We will be visiting specific African nations to bring you the pulse of the moment, in turns. Next week, we will present some of our findings in Uganda and what is going over there. Watch out. But today, enjoy Kenya where mobility lives, in Africa.

Is Social Media in a Bubble With All These High Valuations?

Tomorrow, Tekedia will answer that question. Visit here for our report on why the bubble is getting nearer. We have looked at data and analyzed patterns and surprisingly,  most valuations are inflated. There is trouble.

 

 

Students’ Training on Android and Embedded System/Microcontroller Design

0

This is a proposal

This proposal covers all parts of Nigeria. It is targeted to engineering, science and business students interested in learning Apps development and/or embedded systems. It is from Fasmicrothe leader in development and training in Apps and microelectronics in Nigeria.

 

 

What we want to Offer you

 

Bearing in mind that technology advances every day, mobile computing is not left out. It is pertinent that graduates from your department are conversant with and able to fit into the mobile computing world. There are two modules on offer –   Android and Embedded system/microcontroller.

 

Android training: this training offers your students the opportunity of learning how to program android operating system, design and implement apps. (Applications) for the android operating system and run these apps on OVIM tablet pc.

 

Embedded system/ microcontrollers training: this training offers your students the opportunity of learning how to design, develop and implement dedicated electronics devices using microcontrollers. They will learn software development in assembly language, microcontroller device development, introduced to interfacing with computer USB port. e.t.c

 

 

How we Train

All our trainings are practical based. We provide free Android simulator and emulator that we use for Android training; we provide the PIC development boards, IDE and PICKIT2 programmer that we use for the embedded system/Microcontroller module.  Trainees may take notes as all training materials are soft copies.

 

Each module is a one week program. We use 3 hours a day for 5 days to deliver a practical intensive course.


 

Considering that we place no limitation on the number of students who may want to acquire know-how of these technologies, *FASMICRO sends her staff to the venue provided by the Department.  Bearing in mind that students have other lectures to attend, each of the training lasts only 3 hours a day.

The training can also be adapted to fit any conditions your organization wants. In as much it will not affect the quality of our services.

 

*This is applicable if we will come to the school to conduct the training.

 

 

What you get

 

We will do a one day free seminar on the relevance and importance of Android and microcontroller/embedded system development for the student body i.e SEEES or NCSS (electrical engineering, computer science, etc).

 

Your students will acquire the most current knowledge on android and embedded system/ microcontroller device development. This will in turn make the students to be more aware and able to design and develop software and devices using these technologies and hence they will be more marketable when they leave school.

 

 

The Department gets 1 (one) OVIM tablet pc if up to 100 students come for the training. It may be in the lab for further use by the students.

 

 

Cost

 

The price is set considering the limited resources of students.  Each student pays N6, 000.00 (Six Thousand Naira) only per module. A student that pays for both modules gets 10% discount i.e he pays N10,800.00 (Ten Thousand Eight Hundred Naira) only.

 

 

Registration

 

Pay into our bank account:

Union Bank Plc account #: 1071020017503

Account owner: First Atlantic Semiconductors & Microelectronics Ltd

You can also visit our office and make payment. Please after bank deposit/payment, send your name and photocopy of bank teller to Fasmicro office on #124A Okigwe Road, Owerri or our Lagos office in Allen Avenue Ikeja.

 

 

Conclusion

 

Knowledge is the tool that gives a man competitive edge over his colleagues.  In the field of computers/ communication Engineering, keeping up with advances in hardware and software gives the competitive edge. FASMICRO offers that competitive edge.

 

Knowledge of Android and embedded system/microcontroller is indispensable in mobile computing software and hardware. FASMICRO offers your students an opportunity to become very knowledgeable and able to offer solutions using these technologies.  Acquiring know-how of these technologies helps to bridge the technology gap and makes those who have it more marketable.
