Rise Networks’ National Youth Forum is back in
Town and OWERRI is First. Each year, only 40,000 out of the over 400,000
Nigerian graduates who pass out of the NYSC
scheme get employment. Furthermore, only about
20 percent of the 40,000 graduates who get
employed are in their desired place of work. These are clear indications that the employment
capacity of the country is inversely proportional to
available job seekers. The employing capacities of
multi-nationals and blue chip companies (which
are the dreams of young job seeking graduates)
that service hundreds of thousands of Nigerian Youth are relatively low. As you may well know, RISE NETWORKS is an
institution passionately dedicated to assisting
Youth to express and achieve their highest feats in
idea building, education advancement and
wholesome human development. After a much deserved hiatus taken to research
and plan, the highly anticipated, national
discourse on Nigeria’s Youth development
blueprint, Rise National Youth Forum is finally back
with this Year’s theme as NIGERIA BEYOND OIL;
Strengthening Youth Entrepreneurship in the Next Most Productive Sectors), ENTERTAINMENT +
AGRICULTURE + TECHNOLOGY – (EAT). The highlight of the restructured Program is the
BLUE COLLAR JOBS CAMPAIGN Initiative; a Strategic
Focus on Vocational Skills. This year’s event will
feature very experienced, skilled, knowledgeable
Entrepreneurs and dynamic Change Agents as
Speakers entrepreneurs who will teach/train Participants and also prepare their minds to
compete in the “soon would-be” next most
productive sectors. The idea of the EAT Model is to begin to build
capacity of young Nigerians to embrace radical
change and innovation in preparation for the
diversification of Nigeria’s Economy. If Nigeria’s Oil
dries up today, these 3 Areas and other divisions
of General Production are the major sectors that can guarantee the highest level of employment
and Revenue as much as Oil and the barriers of
entry into these Industries are pretty low. Nations like China, India, Japan, North Korea, have
massively invested in human capital development
which has led to tremendous economic growth in
those nations. For instance, China is known to be the world’s
fastest–growing major economy, the largest
exporter of goods, and the largest manufacturing
economy in the world. This feat was achieved due
to the introduction of vocational skills to cater for
the ever growing population which is set at above 1billion people. This spectacular, life transforming, impact focused
Program which has an indisputable track record of
commanding the attention of the largest single
gathering of Nigerian Youth in one Venue is
coming to a city near you this December and
January 2014. In the exciting Rise Networks’ Quiz Competition,
