In the last two months of the 20th Century, SPES has focussed on the new e-generation approach to promote further, its engagement, in Small and Medium scale enterprises in the African sub-region, as well as at world-wide global village level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPES created a VIRTUAL PICTORAMA of: our recent computer demonstrations at the local INFOTECH 99 FAIR in November. After many years of applied vocational research SPES devised a scheme for teaching multi-literacy skills that can help eliminate exclusion and poverty. It is very user-friendly specially for illiterate kids at risk, and they enjoy learning computer graphics allied to Crafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SPES stand @ Infotech 99 was visited by many people university students, school kids and grown-ups too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover SPES has concentrated on the new need for lifelong learning and the acquisition of new Trade skills, like e-commerce presentations, in order to face the New Millennium challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
