said about 100,000 graduates across the country are currently
engaged in its Graduate Internship Scheme.
The agency gave this figure at a training session for new inductees
into the programme in Akure. The training comprised modules on
micro-financing, communication skills, team work management,
performance measurement, entrepreneurship, rule of work,
company structure and Information and Communication Technology.
Also about 100 graduates drawn from the 18 local councils in
Ondo State were recently engaged by the agency for the GIS programme.
The GIS is an initiative of the Federal Government aimed at
creating a pool of highly trained graduates who, instead of, looking
out for unavailable employment, can become self reliant.
Project Director of the GIS, Peter Papka, said in Akure that
participants were already engaged with employers where they are
gaining office experiences and undergoing entrepreneurial training.
According to him, SURE-P was conceived to expend surplus
subsidy funds on human and infrastructural developments of the
country through the instrumentality of the Federal Ministry of
Finance.
