IT Firm Partners French School To Advance AI, Business Learning

Coven Works, a Nigerian-American Information Technology company, is collaborating with French School to help Nigerians advance learning in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Business and Ethics.
Mr Olusola Amusan, the Chief Executive Officer of Coven Works, disclosed this last Monday in an interview with newsmen in Abuja.
Amusan said the institution, Aivancity School for Technology, Business and Society, Paris-Cachan, Paris, was built around three cores areas – AI, Business and Ethics of the 21st century.
He said the school was focusing on developing the capacity of humans, organisations to address economic and social challenges related to the exploitation of data and AI’s potential.
“Globalisation is forcing companies to hire humans from all countries in highly skilled occupations like data science and AI, hence the need for these sort of partnerships with a top French institution.
“Most business schools have rigid admission requirements, they mostly require that students have a background in certain fields before admission can be guaranteed but our partner is open to students from various disciplinary backgrounds like literary, economy, science and more.
“The school offers an update guarantee that enables graduates take courses and continue to have access to online courses, media library and many resources even upon graduation.
“This largely contributes to accomplishing the mandate of the school’s value which provides a guide to graduates throughout their professional career and strengthening their professional integration,” he said.
Amusan said that the school offered the Grande École programme (higher education programme), which included a course such as Building Fundamentals and Deepening knowledge of AI handled by Microsoft.
According to him, the course spans two years with a third year of an apprenticeship programme.
Amusan said the course was open to persons with a background in mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering sciences, economics or management with certificate issued by an international higher education institution.
He said that admissions into the second year of the Grande École Programme was open to graduates with a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering sciences, economics and management from any business or engineering school.
