The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has launched a curriculum Vitae (CV) web repository and job portal in furtherance of its drive to increase opportunities for fresh graduates.
The portal, which is an initiative of the NYSC Lagos State Coordinator, the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) team and a group of Corps members, was launched by the Director General of the NYSC, Brigadier General S. Z Kazaure, in Lagos recently.
The portal it is hope will facilitate employment opportunity for graduates seeking paid employment by bridging the gap between recruiters and job seekers.
In his remarks Kazaure explained that the scheme was initiated to empower corps members.
He adds that the NYSC “management considers it appropriate to buy into the idea of helping Corps members to package themselves for employability in the highly competitive labour market.
“The portal we are launching will among other benefits, serve as a platform for Corps members to get information on job vacancies and market themselves to prospective employers, serve as a large pool for employers searching for suitable candidates, and provide means of verification of credentials,” he adds.
The NYSC partnered With Dragnet Solutions, Blogme Nigeria Limited, Gr8jobs Limited, Sigma Pensions and Diamond Bank Plc to make the project a reality.
