The Job Ready Programme, an award winning programme run by Futureversity UK, will be coming to Lagos next month.

 

This will be facilitated by the Lagos Empowerment And Resource Network (L.E.A.R.N) and Engage Skills, two Lagos -based NGOs committed to youth development.

 

The Programme will run three days a week for 11 weeks, with a two-week work placement. Sessions are in the form of workshops, role plays, team challenges and a host of other interactive activities.

 

The course according to a press release signed by the Project Manager of L.E.A.R.N, Mrs. Bisi Awoyomi, is accredited by the National Open College Network UK, thereby providing an opportunity for young people to include the qualification in their Curriculum Vitae.

 

After the course, organisers will continue to work with them until such participants find either a job or training towards a job.

 

The programme will be run in conjunction with a number of corporate organisations that will provide real work experiences with the young people. They will be able to see what a work place environment is like from the eyes of corporate professionals.
