“Over the last ten years, we have focused on helping Nigerians who finds themselves in the UK with no work experience but wants to build a career. So through our training, we provide them with the work experience required to go out there and get a job within the digital space as project managers and digital analysts”
“We provide work experience that the next person does not have that gives the candidates a competitive advantage over the others. We missed out in the industrial revolution, Nigerians must not miss out in the digital revolution”, he said.
Giwa further pointed out that the decision to create a platform that links people in Nigeria to people in the UK at the same time enable them to get the same level of experience at a fraction of the cost.
According to him, “In the UK we charge 810 naira (1,790 pounds) that is a lot of money for the average Nigeria. We are here to focus on the masses and give them something affordable which was why we created the subscription based system where we charge 39 thousand naira which is a massive gap from what we charge in the UK.
“The subscription method of payment allows for split payment. So individual can pay the subscription fees for as long they need it”. He said
He noted that other benefit of this is that when a participant become a product champion, which mean such an individual have learnt enough and are now adding value to other people, such individual will stop paying the fees.
