Our Knowledge Focus Areas
The question we asked ourselves – what skills do people hire these days? If we go the freelancing platforms where Nigerian Youths showcase their skills, what are they being hired for? What do organizations look out for when hiring young people? What skills are in high demand for Young People in Nigeria? These questions guided the selection of our Categories and courses.
Our focus is on those various combination of skills you can get and start earning immediately. You can: ● Become a Freelancer earning money in Nigeria● Export your talent, earn money from abroad while working from Nigeria ● Be hired to relocate and work in any company anywhere in the world● Improve your CV and Skillset and find jobs in Nigeria ● You Start up your own small business and watch it grow into a mega enterprise
