THE CareerCentre.ng STORY The Nigerian educational system is not built to prepare students for the realities of the cooperate and business world. Schools in developed countries aside from their rich curriculum that deepens the technical skills of their students, go as far as setting up career centers to help prepare their students for what is obtainable after graduation. They engage in best practice programs & projects to give their students a competitive edge upon graduation. What chance does the Nigerian student stand, especially those in public institutions against their counterparts in private and foreign universities in the global outlook of things? What can we do to change the narrative of "unemployable graduates," that employers have about the Nigerian graduates? Our solution is curating personal development programs and promoting opportunities tailored to the students and fresh graduates to take their future into their hands and create opportunities for themselves. They need to figure out what they want, why they want it, and how they can go about getting it. Personal Development, if taken seriously by students can be the game changer to everything they need to become more valuable and prepared for the harsh realities that life presents beyond the walls of the University. This is why we exist as a CareerCentre.ng. We want to advocate for personal development within the student populace, especially to those in remote institutions. We want to be the one-stop hub to help students through their development journey. To inspire, enlighten & expose students to relevant information & skill sets that will give them the competitive advantage to compete on global fronts. This is our Story, this is Who We Are, and this is Why We Exist. To get admitted into our community, write an essay on Why Personal Development is Important to You (300 words max).
