Sir, not all engineers do all that

One in the department of Electrics almost blew down my apartment with wrong connections yet he is a graduate and practising.

Ladies, beware of this kind if you do not want to get your hearts blown up into flames of angry emotions

Meanwhile, GEJ till.....(You know)

Are you being serious?
what kind of connection are we talking about?

I go just tell her

Now I'm reading this wrong

This na learning platform na
no be so

daviyjones:
read and understand I said "what if" probability.

Your thought process is/was already inclined to that angle Mr

What if scenarios would have considered all characteristics good or bad before arriving at a decision
You clearly considered the negatives and your reluctance was evidently as a result of that

GenoMI:
Wow! Thanks and thanks again - you have definitely put a lot of thought into this. I would absolutely love to give career advice and help with CV's and interview preparation as well, in fact that was one of the things I mentioned in my initial post on this thread.

What do you think would be the best way to go about this? Giving one-to-one assistance over the net or organising small events where I can meet up with say 10 people at a time? I may also be able to get some experienced friends and colleagues to help out...

I will also start looking for and giving out training that will specifically help people become more employable..as usual, I will provide the house feedback on my progress

You’re very much welcome

1-2-1 assistance is good but for how long since it will have a knock on effect on time resource
I like the idea of group events as people will be able to share experience and knowledge as well as network at these events. That’s certainly a plus
I personally think you had hit a home run if you can get people (friends/colleagues) to mentor the applicants. I’m happy to sign up for the mentorship IF needed

Just to add, you can engage Jarus of jarushub to tap from his knoweldge/expertise on career advisory.

Am scared of the idea of stucking with one woman for eternity,forever, for the rest of my life.

and we all know a woman will never show Her true colour until she is in, what if she Is a nagging woman am I going to live with that for eternity,forever, for the rest of my life? Am sure that man won't hit 50years.


Am scared!!!!!!

It's no big deal that you have a commitment phobia
It's a big deal for you to conclude all women nag as that's a very wrong assertion.

If the benefits of marriage isn't your cup of tea then please stay single as it's a free world at the end of the day

Justeenaleo:
There are various ways of having fun, you must not like all.

I'm here to learn

GenoMI:
Oh yes, sorry I forgot to address that question - the honest truth is that measuring the success of the model in terms of direct impact on careers and businesses will not be an easy feat because it will largely boil down to the individual beneficiaries. What I mean by this is that it is left to beneficiaries to put the knowledge they gain into good use - there is no direct way for me to measure this.

I knew it was never going to be an easy feat hence why I wanted you to re-evaluate your approach in reaching the desired outcome.
Addressing the availability and accessibility of training is very good since there is a visible gap that ought to be closed via initiatives such as yours. My worry is that it wouldn’t necessarily go far enough in reaching your initial goals except you can link the vocational training with the other plans you’re currently designing

GenoMI:
What I can actually measure (for now) is the number of people who have received training through the initiative - I will also keep open lines of communication with beneficiaries and follow their progress as much as I can. In less than one week of the site going live, I have already connected with a few young people asking for my thoughts on their businesses, while others have just applied to get a free course - there is a key difference between these 2 groups of people. I will definitely be keeping up with the people who reach out to me directly and hopefully even play more of a role in helping them achieve their goals. And as things pick up and get bigger, more people will come on board to help out as well as bring their own ideas on board as to how to make things better.

If you have any other ideas you think I should be considering, please feel free to tell me. Thanks a lot for your help, I appreciate it.

Success with these sort of initiatives won’t necessarily be complete without the recipients gainfully employed and being productive.

How about you include career advice and coaching on how to write CV’s as well as interview techniques into your end-to-end process?

You can also focus the training on skills that can bridge employment Gap in Nigeria

Well done though. I like your positive spirit/energy.. We definitely need more people like you to move this nation forward

GenoMI:
Hi @jaybee3, thanks for your contribution. I am definitely not in a position to implement (2) and (3) - that is one of I will leave for the banks

As for (1), my dream is to set us FREE E-Learning centres around the country where young people can walk in, book a slot of 1 or 2 hours and have access to state of the art technology and e-learning facilities that will cover business, professional and vocational skills.

How would you measure success of the model?
