The Skilled Talent Pool is a curated showcase of workplace-ready I-Train Africa talent, designed to help employers hire faster and help our community become visible to quality local and global opportunities.”

It’s a curated talent visibility platform where employers can view verified profiles of people trained with our Workplace Fundamental Skills framework and request introductions.

For Employers

• They struggle to find reliable, workplace-ready talent
• CVs don’t show behaviour, communication, or professionalism
• Hiring takes too long and still feels risky

For Jobseekers

• They are skilled but invisible
• They don’t know how to position themselves
• They apply everywhere but don’t get responses

What We Do

We sit in the middle and reduce risk on both sides.

FOR EMPLOYERS

1. Employer visits the Skilled Talent Pool page
2. They browse short, clear talent profiles
3. They click “Request an Introduction”
4. I-Train Africa reviews and connects both parties
5. Employer continues hiring process independently

📌 Important:
We do not promise hiring.
We promise access to vetted talent.

FOR TALENT (ALUMNI / OGE PARTICIPANTS)

1. Talent completes Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS)
2. They submit their profile via our Google Form
3. Selected profiles are featured in the Talent Pool
4. Employers request introductions
5. We facilitate visibility and connection

📌 Important:
Not everyone is listed immediately.
The pool is curated, not automatic.

LinkedIn shows who people say they are.
The Skilled Talent Pool shows who has been prepared for work.”

Access to the Talent Pool is tied to completion of Workplace Fundamental Skills and selection into the curated pool.

No. Profiles are reviewed and curated to maintain quality and employer trust.

No. Employers request introductions through I-Train Africa.

No. We have alumni across 36 countries and support both local and global opportunities.

Because the Talent Pool is built on trust. Employers come to us because they know our talent has gone through structured workplace preparation. WFS is what makes the Talent Pool credible.
WFS is the foundation. The Talent Pool is the visibility layer.

WFS is not about starting from zero. It helps you translate your skills into workplace performance, communication, and positioning — which is what employers actually respond to.

Not at all. We collect location because it helps with matching. Many employers are open to remote or hybrid roles, and we also support global opportunities.

Curation protects quality. If employers stop trusting the pool, it stops working for everyone. Being curated ensures employers take every profile seriously.

LinkedIn shows profiles. Our Talent Pool shows preparation. Every person you see has been trained using our Workplace Fundamental Skills framework.

At this stage, we focus on building quality connections and trust. Any commercial structure is communicated clearly when applicable.

Once you request an introduction, we respond quickly with suitable matches. Speed depends on role clarity and availability.

No. Contact details are kept internal. Employers must request an introduction through I-Train Africa.

No. We manage introductions to protect both parties.

In 2024 and 2025, we supported over 60 internship and job placements across Nigeria, Canada, and Uganda. We focus on sustainable outcomes, not inflated numbers.

WFS still delivers value on its own — skills, clarity, and confidence. Talent Pool listing depends on readiness, profile quality, and employer demand.”
