SkillUp 16.0 was a special edition that celebrated Akwa Ibom @36 with a two week free digital skills training.

Every participant chose one track: ICT, graphics design, public speaking, web development, mobile photo editing, videography or social media management. The learning was practical and hands on, because digital skills grow best when people practice them. The event raised the digital capacity of attendees across the state. It showed what is possible when training is open to everyone. Many of those who joined are now using their skills and doing well with them.
