Jobberman Champions Youth and Women's Employment in Nigeria

Jobberman, in collaboration with key stakeholders, hosted an event in Lagos focused on enhancing employment opportunities for youth and women in Nigeria. The gathering, which took place over the weekend, featured Hilda Kabushenga, the Group Chief Executive Officer of African Talent Company (TATC), who reaffirmed the organization's commitment to building scalable systems for youth employment.

Ahm Alaga, head of the program impact partnership at TATC, emphasized the necessity of collaboration among various institutions to address youth unemployment effectively. He noted that while Nigeria's youth hold immense potential, partnerships are essential to create pathways for dignified work.

The event also highlighted the need to support young women, as research indicates a significant gender gap in employment opportunities. Jobberman has trained approximately three million individuals and successfully placed around 1.1 million young Nigerians in jobs, with a focus on increasing women's participation in the workforce.

The discussions underscored the importance of addressing both supply and demand sides of employment to facilitate successful transitions for young people.
