To
address the problem of youth unemployment in Nigeria, Development Alternatives and Resource Center (DARC) has designed a program to help young graduates skill-up to make
them more attractive to employers of labor; the premise being that Nigerian
university graduates have relatively little job related skills and are
ill-prepared for the job market.
Development
Alternatives and Resource Center (DARC) is organizing a Complete
Cycle Program, an Employability program designed by DARC and Clinton
Associates (UK) to increase the employability of Nigerian graduates by
exposing them to the requirements and challenges of the job market.
The
program will be developed to give a selected number of graduates an
understanding of themselves, an insight into their capabilities and areas of
strength, and an understanding of the requirements of the work environment. It
will also give them an opportunity to meet with employers of labor and to be
mentored by individuals with a track record of achievement in the work
environment.
Eligibility Criteria Must be a Nigerian Must
be a university graduate with minimum of 2.2 (second class lower
division) Must
have completed the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) Must
be between the age of 22 – 28 years Must
possess good communication skills Must
have basic computer knowledge
Interested
youths should apply by completing the application form below and submit with
their CV to info@darcng.org (submission
deadline is February 16, 2012). Only those whose applications meet the required criteria will be
