Get The Skills Global Employers Want But Universities Don't Teach On Monday, Dec 8th, at the 3 in 1 conference hall, Faculty of Education, LASU

If academic degrees alone guaranteed employability, Africa wouldn’t have millions of unemployed graduates and underemployed professionals.

If it was about certificate, Joy; a year 1 student of University of Lagos would not have secured a remote job during year 1 holiday.
