AKWA IBOM AWAY FROM OIL
My father once told me that in their days, employers used to come scout for brilliant graduates from tertiary institutions and so, having credentials was the passport to a better life.
Fast forward to today – skills have taken the lead as the new passport to better life. Employers today want skills above several other considerations. So then, what do we do? Acquire skills.
What this means is, without skills, we cannot achieve much as individuals and as a collective or remain relevant in the 21st century skill economy, but what if we are willing yet unable to afford the acquisition of skills?
Enter The New Breed (TNB) – an NGO with great interest in human capital development, electing to train for free a targeted minimum of 10,000 Akwa Ibomites on various sellable entrepreneurial skills, with 300 beneficiaries already billed for graduation in the first batch.
This move is geared towards growing a productive population and churning out individuals ready, capable and available for the 21st century labour market, as well as achieving a full entrepreneurial state with ripple effects on the state’s economy.
This is truly the way to go.
