BE EMPOWERED: Boost and Achieve Your Career Dreams in the GRANDSCOPE Youth Empowerment Scheme (YES!)...

DESCRIPTION:

lThe Youth Empowerment Scheme (YES) is a project packaged specifically for youths within the environs of operation of GRANDSCOPE, which is Amuwo Odofin. Youths constitute a major part of the increasing population of our country. However, a great number of these youths are school leavers seeking admission into higher institutions of learning and graduates looking for employment.  

lTherefore, the “YES” is designed to make computer education and other vocational training accessible to these youths at little or no cost in order to help manage their unoccupied periods, give them a competitive edge in the marketplace, enhance their productivity and efficiency in their respective careers and prospective workplaces. 

lWith the successful completion of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th phases of the “YES” between 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively, producing over 56 highly competent ICT graduates, the stage is set for the 5th phase of the scheme, 2013.lThe st phase of “YES” is planned to commence on mid July, 2013 - September, 2013.

OBJECTIVES:

lTo spread computer literacy and improve capacity building among youths.

lTo prepare youths for the entrepreneurial world after completion of their secondary education.

lTo boost the relevance of unemployed Tertiary graduates who are in the labour market.

lTo enhance youths chances of getting gainful employment, at and when due, and be of support to their parents.
