About the Affiliated Organization
The Afterschool Center for Career Development is a career development organization that is committed to inspiring, investing, engaging and facilitating growth opportunities for young persons in NIgeria in transitional stages of their lives. We ignite young people to set career goals and walk them through how to attain them.
Our organization focuses on secondary school students in their final two years of schooling, as this is usually the age at which students begin to lose interest and drop out without strong mentorship and guidance. We have developed a pre-graduation program for this age group in which enrolled students can gain a community and the support needed to believe in themselves and their aspirations. This program is conducted in partnership with the Ministry of Education and we are currently working with thirty schools to provide this program to their students. The program ensures that young people have access to mentorship and career planning services and events (such as debates and speakers) that spark their creativity and get them thinking about and excited for the future. We have established a walk-in career-counseling center in which these activities take place and in which anyone can access career support services. We use the power of story telling to inspire young people through relatable examples. Successful young people are invited to share their experiences and thoughts on how to develop a successful career path. These examples serve as mentors to others and demonstrate that it is possible for young people to smoothly transition from school to the workforce...
