1.1 Background of the Study
Youth empowerment remains a central focus in the development of many Nigerian communities, where unemployment and underemployment among young people are critical issues. In Chikun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State, the challenges are no different, with many young people lacking access to training and skill acquisition opportunities that could enhance their livelihoods. Photography, as both an art form and a medium for communication, offers an exciting avenue for youth empowerment. By offering photography training programs, young people can acquire valuable technical skills that are both creative and marketable. These skills can open up opportunities in areas like photojournalism, event photography, and commercial photography. This study explores how photography can be used as a tool for youth empowerment in Chikun LGA, assessing the impact of photography training on the skills development and socio-economic well-being of young people in the area.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing demand for skilled workers in various sectors, Chikun LGA faces a significant gap in youth skill acquisition, leaving many young people without viable career paths. While there have been efforts to promote skill acquisition programs, photography as a means of youth empowerment remains underexplored. The potential of photography as a medium for teaching valuable skills has not been fully utilized in this context. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of photography-based training programs in empowering young people in Chikun LGA, fostering both personal development and economic opportunities.
