What People Are Saying
Ayomide Akinsola
— Financial Sensation @financialsensation I knew Youth Employ in 2017 and have never missed any of their events. There's always value to be added. When I launched Financial Sensation in 2018, I had gotten most of my training and mentorship from Youth Employ, and I was ready to put it into action. Thank you Youth Employ, this is an initiative that I believe every entrepreneur and intrapreneur needs to be a part of.

— Nacre Leather @nacreleatherworks Youth Employ has had such great impact. I got equipped to kick off my business, the push I really needed to start, and reasons why I need to gain mastery in my field at the 2018 summit 'Build to Last.' Youth Employ, although growing, has the capacity to really empower youths with an entrepreneurial element which, of course, the Nigerian school system cannot give, and development ointment every phase of the life of a youth

Tasty Yummy Bakes and Events @tastyummybakes Youth Employ and Development Initiative through its programs gave me the push I needed.
I was nursing great ideas but somehow, I was too scared to start, and I kept giving myself a thousand and one reasons why it wouldn't work for me as a student. But after attending the imPROVE Summit 4.0 'Built to Last, everything changed. I learned a whole lot, and I knew it was time to make an excellent move.

— Creactivate Hub @creactivatehub Youth Employ has indeed been a tremendous blessing to me. I attended my first graphic design class in 2019 organized by Youth Employ after the imPROVE Summit. This ignited my passion for creativity and set me on the path to being a professional graphic designer. I've also learnt a lot on networking, relationships and mentorship from my encounter with Youth Employ
