Eighteen students from Quantum Associates were on Friday certified after successfully completing a three-month summer training on Information Technology (IT), at a ceremony held at its Head Office in Kanifing.

Speaking at the ceremony, Gibril Jibi Chorr, Managing Director of Quantum Associates, said his association has always been convinced that the development of human capital from a very young age is the foundation of national development and all efforts must be made to continue to nurture young and brilliant minds like the graduates to better prepare them to take over the reins of leadership.

He then urged the graduates to make good use of the knowledge gained from the training.

“You graduate today, not only as a testimony of youth competence in computers, but also as new members of the Quantum family. I would like to congratulate you for your efforts and success. I am confident that you will put your new knowledge into good use and share it with your colleagues”, he said.

For his part, Yunusa Bah, Deputy Managing Director, Quantum Associates reminded the graduates of several challenges ahead of them, saying “there is a lot more ahead and it is not only this”. 

He then revealed that the students came at a time when they were not able to do anything, but they had managed to do their level best to teach them the best.

At the end of the ceremony, the students were awarded certificates.

Sirah Jobarteh and Abigail Janet gave the vote of thanks, whilst Binta Touray chaired the ceremony.
