Entrepreneurial Skills, Enterprises Development, TVET, Mentoring and Support for Youth and Women
The way we work, learn, take part in society and lead our everyday lives is changing with technological developments, global and demographic challenges. The right skills and education help individuals to adjust to these changes and ensure their well-being while contributing to society, productivity and economic growth.
Our Approach
- ACIEDafrica considers lack of education and skills mismatches to be principal obstacles for young people in labour markets. In Nigeria, lack of proper training has been identified as one of the main reasons why young people do not find jobs. Young people therefore need more comprehensive education that responds to labour market needs, in terms of quality and relevance (including technical and vocational training). While we recognize youth as an integral to the overall global agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ACIEDafrica is sharpening its focus on inclusive entrepreneurship and employment through Entrepreneurial Skills, Technical Vocational Education and Training. The Centre is at the forefront of forging purposeful labor market integration by strengthening people’s skills and providing them with knowledge, moral and intellectual virtues that form the basis for life-long learning and contribution to the national economic growth. We specifically provide rural and semi-urban youth with training and employment opportunities that help lift them and their families out of poverty.
