Experts in Nigeria’s skills development and engagement space are set to unveil the 21st Century Skills Roadmap (21st CSR) aimed at creating quality jobs and stemming unemployment and multi-dimensional poverty.
 
Put together by Career Digest (CD) Limited, a social business enterprise, in collaboration with leading stakeholders in the education sector, the event is billed to unveil the fundamentals of the perennial wide-scale skills gaps between the institutions of learning and the workplace in Nigeria and across Africa.    

Convener and Chief Executive Officer of Career Digest, Joy Chinwokwu, said the two-day event slated to be held at the University of Lagos on December 5 and 6, 2024, is designed to empower skilful and morally upright students, youth and women to help themselves, their families and also contribute to the economy.
 
She added that a mutual training environment for the classroom and workplace and a close-knit work interface among various sector stakeholders would equally be held.
 
She added that the initiative has been applauded as a social business tonic for career and curriculum reforms.
 
According to her: “The mission is to impact the economy of individuals, families, and communities through sustainable stakeholders’ partnerships that will facilitate the development and implementation of world-class digital skills, beginning with Nigeria and dovetailing to other African countries.”
