Partner With Us to Make 10,000 Graduates Employable by 2028
Graduates who can't find jobs. Employers who can't find the right graduates. We're closing that gap.
Graduates leave school qualified but underprepared, while employers struggle to find the technical skills, problem-solving, communication, accountability and attitude they need. Through SkillUp to Work Africa, we help graduates find the career path that fits their strengths, become workplace-ready, and land jobs.
10,000
Employable graduates by 2028
20,000
Graduates enrolled (our target)
2,500+
Minimum enrolled per cohort
What “employable” means: a graduate who completes SkillUp to Work Africa with an overall grade of 80% or higher. Enrolling is the start line, not the finish line.
Why 20,000 enrolled gets us to 10,000 employable: not everyone who enrols finishes, and not everyone who finishes clears the 80% bar. We report enrolled and employable numbers separately, every cohort, because we value transparency and accountability over a number that only looks good.
Sponsor a Graduate for ₦15,000
The SkillUp fee is ₦28,800. You contribute ₦15,000 and the graduate pays ₦13,800, so every sponsored place is backed by the graduate's own commitment.
Sponsoring now funds the next cohort: starts January 31, 2027, registration closes January 26, 2027
What each sponsored graduate leaves with:
- 4 weeks of practical training in workplace skills, workplace culture, and digital and AI tools
- A 1:1 career clarity session with a mentor
- A tailored career path and a personal 90-day career roadmap
- 2 completed work simulation projects
- A completed portfolio of their work
- An optimised CV and LinkedIn profile
- A mock interview with personalised feedback
- A capstone project presented at the live Project Defence
- A recommendation letter and access to graduate trainee opportunities

A report on enrolment, participation, completion, assessed learning outcomes, and follow-up on applications, interviews and landed jobs. Verified results are always kept separate from self-reported ones.

Our Commitments
The Person Behind Mission 10,000
“I started SkillUp to Work Africa because too many graduates have degrees are not employable, and too many employers can't find the right people ready to deliver. Mission 10,000 is my public promise to change that: 10,000 employable graduates by 2028, so graduates land jobs and employers get people who can do the work excellently.”
