A Group that is championing the right career path for students and the empowerment of young people, Dews and Aire Career Guidance Foundation, has announced plans to expand its programmes to enable youths across the country to benefit from them.

The Foundation’s Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Morenike Keye, announced the expansion plan during the Foundation’s second anniversary in Lagos.

“After two years of transforming young lives in Lagos through career education, mentorship and youth empowerment, the Foundation is set to expand its programmes to reach more students, graduates, job seekers and young professionals across Nigeria,” she said.

According to her, the Foundation began with a mission to ensure that every young person, regardless of background, has access to quality career guidance, practical skills and the support needed to build a successful future.

She said that most young people knew very little about the wide range of careers available today, the subject combinations required for different professions or the skills needed to succeed in today’s world, lamenting that their dreams are real, but their voices are hardly truly heard.

“Many young people complete secondary schools without receiving proper career guidance, mentorship or the information needed to make informed decisions about higher education, employment, entrepreneurship or vocational training. Some lose confidence along the way, while others drop out of school altogether. Many settle for careers that do not match their abilities or interests, not because they lack potential, but because they lack guidance. It was this reality that inspired the establishment of Dews and Aire Career Guidance Foundation two years ago,” she further stated.

Keye said that career guidance is more than choosing a profession, stressing that it is about helping young people discover their potential and giving them the tools to succeed.
