Schneider bridges engineering skills gap with mentorship

Schneider Electric has launched a six-month mentorship programme, Advancing Energy Tech, to help engineering students in Nigeria and other African markets bridge the gap between university education and workplace skills. The programme pairs students with Schneider Electric engineers as they prepare to enter the energy and technology industries, with participating students receiving one-on-one guidance from industry professionals.

The initiative aims to address the shortage of graduates equipped with practical skills required in the workplace, a challenge that extends beyond Nigeria, as highlighted by the State of the Nigerian Youth Report 2025, which put youth unemployment at 53 per cent.
