• AFRICAN'S EMPLOYABILITY SOLUTION

What Universities Don’t Teach — But Every Employer Now Expects

The Workplace Fundamental Skills (WFS) Program is a solution born out of that gap — a 3-year tested curriculum, built across 9 demographic groups, to fix what the academic system ignores: practical, professional, and digital work-readiness skills.

“WFS has done so much good to me that words can’t quantify how you’ve changed my narrative. I regret not finding this 7 years ago after graduating.”

WFS Alumna (May 2024)

“As I write this, God has blessed me with two remote managerial positions. On May 1st, a multinational company from the US contacted me for an interview, and on May 15th, another company from South Africa did the same.”

📊 The Harvard Study Employers Are Whispering About

A Harvard University research study found that only 15% of job success comes from technical knowledge. The other 85% is rooted in soft skills — communication, emotional intelligence, problem-solving, collaboration, and professionalism.

Yet these skills are missing in most African curriculums.

WFS fills that gap. With structure, tools, mentorship, and clarity.

🧠 Academic Qualifications = Just 5% of What Employers Look For.

After 15 years as an employer and two stints working internationally, I’ve seen firsthand what actually gets people hired or retained — both locally and globally.

Here’s the REAL formula for getting and keeping jobs in today’s global economy: 5:30:30:35

  • 📘 5% — Academic Degree (Yes, just five percent)

  • 🗣 30% — Soft Skills (What we teach in WFS: communication, clarity, structure, workplace tools, professionalism)

  • 💻 30% — Technical Skills (This could be design, digital marketing, coding, product management, etc.)

  • 🛠 35% — Work Experience (Real, practical experience – including internships, volunteer work, projects)

Now ask yourself honestly: Where do you fall on this scale? If you can’t confidently score at least 70%, then WFS is not just a nice-to-have — it’s a necessity.

You can learn technical skills elsewhere. You can even pay hundreds of thousands for a Master’s degree.

But guess what? That still only covers 30% of the equation.

The fundamental workplace skills that make you employable — the ones that help you communicate, deliver, manage time, collaborate remotely, solve problems, and show up professionally — are not taught in school, and no employer has time to teach them.

You won’t find these on YouTube.
You won’t get them from a random digital skills course.
And your MSc doesn’t cover it either.

🎓 The WFS Program is the ONLY curriculum built specifically to close that missing 30% gap in Africa’s workforce readiness.

We’ve tested it with over 1,000 professionals from 9 African demographics.
We’ve seen people land jobs, improve their performance, and get retained by global partners — all from this foundation.

🟢 If you want to become globally employable — WFS is where you start.

And should you ever find a program like this somewhere else?
It would cost you 10x more than what we’re charging you now.

Hello, I’m Dr Aderinsola Adio-Adepoju; I have helped professionals and youths secure over $700,000, won/attracted (personal) 35+ global opportunities worth over $35,000 that took me to 5 continents, and shaped lives for living.

African youths are my passion, and my mission is to help 10 million of them become skilled, become relevant to the 21st-century workforce, and arrive at the global stage by 2030.

In 2021 and 2023, I organized the most extensive online youth conference for African youths and women. The 2021 & 2023 editions reached over 2.6 million people. The 2021 event saw participation from 40+ African countries, with 14,000+ registered attendees and 35 speakers from 25+ nations. In 2023, the GMC had 41 speakers and 24,000 registered participants from 54 countries.

I am an academic with a BSc, MSc, and PhD in Chemistry and a university teacher. I have been an entrepreneur for the last 14 years. I have a mini MBA from the International Finance Corporation (IFC)

In 2022-2023

As the Design Lead, I worked remotely internationally with the Natural History Museum of London (NHM).

I also served as the Global Project Coordinator at the Museum For the 🇺🇳 United Nations (U.N. Live).

I have been featured in local and international press and media, such as the Voice of Canada, US InStyle Magazine, Women Radio, Tekedia, TVC, Punch Newspaper, and many others. I have several awards and am happily married and blessed with children.

At Skilled For Work, we’re not just another online training school. We are Africa’s leading remote work and employability finishing school — built for professionals, jobseekers, and career switchers who are tired of theory and ready for results.

Here’s what sets us apart:

💻 Learn by Doing, Not Just Watching

Forget cramming theory like you did in school. Every training in our academy is project-based.
If you’re learning about social media management, we give you a real content calendar to fill.
If we’re teaching proposals, you’ll write one for a real scenario.

We don’t stack up learning for “exam time.” We teach by doing — immediately.

🌍 Built for Global Careers, Backed by Global Experience

Our founder, Dr. Aderinsola Adio-Adepoju, has worked remotely and globally, including as a former Global Program Coordinator at the Museum for the United Nations.
She’s trained over 1,000 professionals from 20+ countries to secure global jobs, consulting roles, scholarships, and internships.

In selected tracks, we even teach you how to find and apply for global roles.

👩🏾‍💼 Learn From Practicing Professionals

You’re not learning from theory-based lecturers — you’re learning directly from professionals and founders who are doing the work every day.
Our mentors come from real workplaces, and you’ll carry out real-life tasks during the program. That’s why students like Ijeoma have earned income before graduating.

📚 A Curriculum That Evolves With the Market

Traditional institutions often fail because their curricula are outdated.
At Skilled for Work, we review our curriculum after every cohort, based on what’s trending in global job markets and employer expectations.
Our programs have been tested across 9 African demographics — and refined every single time.

📄 Certification That Says “I’m Work-Ready”

Your certificate won’t just say you completed training — it will reflect that you’ve worked on real-world projects, used global tools, and are ready to work remotely or on-site.
Employers don’t just want credentials — they want proof. This gives them confidence in your readiness.

You’ll get:

  • Access to job and internship openings

  • Weekly global opportunity updates
