It has been widely accepted that one of the reasons for unemployment is that the average graduate doesn’t have the requisite knowledge, skills and attitude needed to gain entry and excellence in today’s workplace.

We have thus commenced the registration for a workplace readiness program around the country, tagged WEREADY. Workplace & Enterprise Readiness programme. Flag off is in Lagos and Ogun. Click here to view the detailed programme brochure: http://www.pageflip-flap.com/read?r=NkEvzli4djJpxc4cW

 ABOUT –WEREADY is a developmental academy which seeks to re-fit, re-focus and re-tool the young people desirous of successful working careers by providing trainings and interactions that enable them to enter and excel in today’s competitive workplace.
