The First Employability Concourse Held Successfully

April 2, 2018

On the 2nd of April 2018 in Abuja Nigeria, we had a wonderful time hosting 4 amazing guest facilitators to do justice to a problem that has been brewing gradually in the youth development sector...Employability!

We discovered not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur rather some are wired to be successful in paid employment and eventually will climb the ranks professionally as "Intrapreneurs"

We were scheduled to host over a hundred participants but got less than 20! for the same reasons as to why it is generally believed that most of our young graduates are unemployable just as the former Nigerian President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo once said.

Despite the clearly designed flyer and emails that were sent out over 70 percent of the candidates got the location wrong, rather they just focused on the minor details and left the major on all information given.

In all it was a wonderful experience as we had our facilitators and partners Rimdinado International Tempkers Lizspire Emem Opashi, Enesi Makoju as well as our ED Okoroafor Uchenna speak on work-life balance, Office ethics and tools, Getting the job you desire and hiring!

This has made us get calls to repeat the event and go to other locations which are already working on.

Below are pictures of how the event went:
