part of efforts to tackle youth unemployment and foster entrepreneurship, the NerdzFactory Foundation, in collaboration with Access Corporation, has successfully wrapped up the fourth edition of its Youth Transition Programme.
According to the Director of NerdzFactory Foundation, Ade Olowojoba, the programme was organised to equip young people with vital skills needed to thrive in today’s job market, as well as tools to help them create their own economic opportunities.
He explained that the programme featured a comprehensive range of online training sessions, including webinars that focused on Digital Workspace Tools, CV Writing, LinkedIn Optimisation and Digital Workplace Skills.
“These sessions were meticulously designed to meet the diverse needs of each participant, ensuring that they not only develop the skills necessary to compete in the workforce but also acquire the confidence to pursue entrepreneurial ventures.
“One of the key aspects of the Youth Transition Programme is its emphasis on practical, real-world applications. Participants were taught how to leverage the internet to unlock economic opportunities and were provided with insights into digital marketing, a skill set increasingly in demand.
With a focus on preparing participants for either employment or entrepreneurship, the programme ensures that young people are not only prepared for the job market but also ready to build businesses that contribute to the economy,” he said. Olowojoba said the initiative represents the organisation’s commitment to equipping the next generation with success skills in an evolving world.
