Sara Foundation Africa has prepared 700 young Nigerian graduates with employable skills and referred 696 qualified candidates to the Nigerian Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) as part of an intensive employability readiness initiative. The program, led by Founder Sarah Inem Kalu, exceeded its goal of preparing 500 graduates after receiving over 1,000 applications within a week.
The initiative, dubbed Graduate Journey Pathway (GJP), was conducted in partnership with the Office of the Vice-President and focused on practical skills such as CV development, interview preparation, communication, and emotional intelligence. Kalu emphasized the importance of collaboration between government and private sectors to create pathways from education to employment, stating that talent exists everywhere in Africa but opportunities are not equally accessible.
The virtual five-day program, delivered through 10 live sessions, ensured accessibility for graduates across Nigeria while meeting NJFP eligibility requirements. The foundation's workforce development efforts are anchored in three flagship programs: CAP, FLIP, and Education Journey Pathways (EJP).
