WHY IT MATTERS

Why Job Creation Matters

Young people in Nigeria have energy, talent and big plans, but too many of them cannot find steady work. Without an income, it is hard to start a family, support parents or plan for the future.

A practical skill changes that. It opens the door to a job, or to a small business that can grow and even hire others. That is how one young person’s training becomes jobs for a community.
