Empowering Businesses Beyond Mentorship: Young Africa Distributes More Booster Kits to Participants in Lagos State 🚀

Yesterday, Young Africa Nigeria, through the Youth Employability Booster (YEB) Programme in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, distributed booster kits to selected participants from Cohort 1 of the Tailored Business Mentorship Programme in Lagos.

While mentorship remains at the heart of the programme, these booster kits provide an added boost to help young entrepreneurs strengthen their businesses, improve productivity, increase income, and move closer to sustainable livelihoods.

By combining practical business guidance with targeted business support, we are helping young people turn potential into progress and enterprise into opportunity.

Together, we are creating pathways to dignified work, stronger businesses, and brighter futures.

🎤 Young Africa International was proud to contribute to the conversation on youth employability at the National TVET Conference 2026.

During the panel discussion, Muchechetere Wellington shared how Young Africa ensures training remains relevant by conducting market assessments before entering communities and prioritizing skills that meet both current labour market demands and future workforce needs.

He also called for stronger collaboration with TVET institutions and partners to expand the reach of Young Africa's proven youth employability models and equip more young people with skills for sustainable livelihoods.

The future of work requires future-ready skills—and partnerships will be key to making this a reality.

At Young Africa Nigeria, skills development goes beyond the classroom. Through our Integral Mobile Training programme at Benin Technical College, young people are gaining practical, hands-on experience in trades that can transform their futures.

In this session, participants are learning the art of shoemaking—developing skills in pattern cutting, leatherwork, stitching, finishing, and footwear production. By combining technical instruction with real-world practice, trainees are building the confidence and competence needed to start businesses, secure employment, and create sustainable livelihoods.

These aspiring shoemakers are part of a wider cohort of over 2,000 young people enrolled in trade and skills acquisition programmes across our implementation areas, gaining access to market-relevant vocational skills that prepare them for work and entrepreneurship.

Every skill learned is a step towards economic independence, dignity, and opportunity.
