Recent statistics show that the unemployment rate in Nigeria has increased to more than 33%. Interestingly, it is projected that this will continue to rise even into the year 2022.
What this shows is that unless something drastic is done, the situation is not likely to improve in the coming months.
It, therefore, becomes imperative for every Nigerian Graduate to prepare themselves for the labour market.
This is what the Career and Business Bootcamp seeks to achieve – to offer a learning platform for Undergraduates (especially those in their penultimate and final years) towards getting themselves set for gainful engagements in the labour market.
