AIICO Pension Managers Limited has unveiled plans to hold career development workshop aimed at helping unemployed youths make smart career choices.
A statement by Jumai Abdullah, of the firm’s Strategic Planning and Corporate Communications, noted that the workshop, which is modeled around company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, has the themed: ‘‘Preparation Meets Opportunity: A Window To Excel.’’
The statement added that the initiative is primarily aimed at helping a large number of the unemployed youths make smart career choices by exposing them to the rudiments of job search, expectations of employers in the 21st century job market, and appropriate self-branding.
The statement also noted that the event will serve as a springboard for participating organizations to access a pool of diverse employable talents and trainable graduates with unique value propositions, which they can tap into when looking to employ top-end entry level executives and/or trainees.
“We expect to have four main speakers who are experts in their respective fields to deliver papers relevant to the theme of the workshop and a guest appearance by our brand ambassador, Ms. Ajoke Silva,” the statement said.
