We’re excited to share that members of YALI Network AkwaIbom participated in a two-day Training Programme on Oil and Gas Industry-Related Vocational Skills for Youths in Akwa Ibom State!
The training, commissioned by the Nigerian Content Development & Monitoring Board (NCDMB), brought together young people for practical learning and exposure to opportunities beyond the traditional pursuit of white-collar jobs in the oil and gas sector.
Our members were invited to participate through Hussein Nuhu Isa, a fellow YALI member and the Implementing Project Manager for the programme in Akwa Ibom State.
It was an enriching experience as participants explored industry-related vocational opportunities, workplace safety, emotional intelligence, and the mindset required to thrive in the oil and gas space.
Beyond the learning, the programme provided an avenue for meaningful networking and broader career exposure, reminding us that opportunities in the oil and gas industry extend far beyond the office.
We’re proud of our members for showing up, learning, engaging professionally while exploring new possibilities.
Here’s to building skills, expanding perspectives and preparing for the future!
