Daily schedules, internship plan of Benue State’s 6-month tech training

Here is our structured process guideline for the 6-month training program, covering each course’s daily schedule and the internship period. Given the constraints of class capacity and the need to accommodate multiple participants, we’ll need to optimize the schedule. Here’s a breakdown of how the training program will look:

Training Program Structure Phase 1: Foundation (1 month)

  • During this phase, participants will establish a strong foundation in the

chosen course. The focus will be on introducing basic concepts and building essential skills.

 

Phase 2: Intermediate (2 months)

  • In this phase, participants will delve deeper into the subject, covering intermediate-level topics and more complex

 

Phase 3: Advanced (2 months)

  • The final phase will focus on advanced topics, allowing participants to master the most sophisticated aspects of their chosen

 

Phase 4: Internship (1 month)

  • After completing the 6-month training, participants will engage in internships to apply their knowledge and gain practical experience.

 

Daily Schedule: Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm

 

Each course will have a dedicated day of the week, allowing participants to focus on a single course. Given the hall capacity, a rotation system will be implemented, allowing all participants to attend their chosen course within the 6- month period.

Course Break-down

 

Since the each course per class is 2 hours and 30 minutes per day and participants attend that class 3 times per week, we can calculate the number of hours attended for a week and a month as follows:

 

 

Duration

Hours Attended Per Class

Hours Attended Per Day

Hours Attended per week (3 days)

Hours Attended Per Month (4 weeks)

Hours Attended for 6 Months

(24 weeks)

Per class

2 hours 30 minutes

 

 

 

 

Per Day

2 hours 30 minutes

2 hours 30 minutes

 

 

 

Per Week (3 days)

 

7 hours 30 minutes

7 hours 30 minutes

30 hours

180 hours

Per Month (4 Weeks)

 

 

 

30 hours

180 hours

Per 6 Months

 

 

 

 

180 hours

 

 

Explanation of the Table:

 

Per Class: Each class is 2 hours and 30 minutes long.

 

Per Day: Each day consists of one class, which is 2 hours and 30 minutes long.

 

Per Week (3 days): Participants attend classes for 3 days each week, with each class being 2 hours and 30 minutes. Therefore, they spend a total of 7 hours and 30 minutes in class per week.

 

Per Month (4 weeks): Participants attend classes for 3 days each week, for a total of 12 days in a month. With each class being 2 hours and 30 minutes, participants spend a total of 30 hours in class per month.

 

Per 6 Months (24 weeks): Over a span of 6 months, with 3 days of classes each week, participants attend a total of 72 classes. With each class being 2 hours and 30 minutes, participants spend a total of 180 hours in class over 6 months. Calculation of the hours:

 

 

Number of Hours Attended for a Week:

2 hours 30 minutes * 3 days = 7 hours 30 minutes

 

Number of Hours Attended for a Month (4 weeks):

7 hours 30 minutes * 4 weeks = 30 hours

 

Number of Hours Attended for 6 Months (24 weeks):

7 hours 30 minutes * 24 weeks = 180 hours

 

So, for a week, participants will attend a total of 7 hours and 30 minutes of classes, for a month (assuming 4 weeks in a month), they will attend a total of 30 hours of classes, and for 6 months, participants will attend a total of 180 hours of classes.
