We help with industry placement when you train with us. We train, recruit, and provide career guidance in media and mediaskill education Mediaskill Acquisition Project (MAP) is a training platform designed to build capacity of training participants in the field of data science, broadcast engineering, broadcast IT, media, film & television production and internet media. The intensive learning workshop is fully hands-on, and delivered through brainstorming, discovery, self-learning and practical methods. With the assistance of industry skilled professional instructors, the facilitators will provide guidance, mentorship and role playing services to the learners during the training. Rationale:
Africa, a continent with about one billion people, rich with over 60% of youthful population shows great promise when such youthful energy and strength of wisdom is channeled in the right direction. Instead of resigning to the background as a continent known for fighting senseless wars, catastrophic natural disaster, hunger and poverty; it is the aim of this training programme to raise the employment and employability index of African youths. Nigeria, as an extension of the continent with a growing population estimated above 167 million people has 50% youths, ages between 15 and 24, (National Population Commission). In year 2012, about 11.1 million youth were said to be unemployed. To further deepen unemployment story, a NISER index (Nigeria Institute of Socio Economic Research) of 2013 provides that graduates of Nigerian tertiary institutions constitute 20% of the country’s youth unemployment indices. These unemployed graduates remain unemployed for a period of five years more, after graduation. The different between Nigeria’s unemployment story and the rest of the world is in the term ‘employability’. Unemployability arises from the rot in the educational system and weak curriculum that has failed to address vocational education and psychomotor skills within the educational foundations. It is the aim of the MEDIASKILL ACQUISITION PROJECT to achieve the following broad aims and specific objectives through this workshop
GOAL
• Reduce unemployment exposure among tertiary graduates by 9.4% within the next five years.
• Become the reference youth training/capacity builders in Nigeria, by developing a model that government, agencies and organizations will adopt.
• To outsource skilled services by securing direct job placement, freelance or retainership of our Mediaskill Acquisition Project graduates
