If You are a Graduate and Unemployed, then this News is for you

Yetunde Arobieke, the Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment announced that Governor Sanwo-Olu has approved Internship programme. This programme will accommodate 4,000 unemployed graduates. The commissioner revealed this on Thursday, 28-10-2020.

It was established that the graduate internship placement programme is set to help beneficiaries attain employability and working skills in the long run. The duration of the programme is for 6 months.

PAYMENT

Those employed will be paid N40,000 for a period of 6 months.

Beneficiaries will be equipped with valuable work experience, great professional skills and exposure to entrepreneurial opportunities.

REQUIREMENTS

Candidates must have National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) Certificate or Letter of exemption from the body.

They must be registered with Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASSRA) and present the document.

Candidates who pass the online test will undergo training for two weeks. The training will be on employability skills.

Since unemployment is a great menace in the country, this internship program will go a long way to help build people up and engage them positively. However, a lot of youths will prefer a long-lasting job or good job security. Meanwhile, the opportunity should not be ignored because it will equip beneficiaries with great skills that will make them better candidates for job opportunities and selection.
