Through its transformational curriculum called Poise Graduate Finishing Academy (PGFA), Poise Nigeria, an etiquette training firm, has re-launched the PSENSE certification programme structured not only to make the Nigerian graduates employable in the labour market but also more globally competitive.
Asher Adeniyi, chief marketing officer at Poise Nigeria, said the decision to re-launch the program was as a result of the firm desires to transfer knowledge that will not only enhance the soft skills of young executives but also improve their dexterity, knowledge and attitude to excel in the work place.
Adeniyi explained that PSENSE advance certification would now be run for 10 weeks. “The first five weeks will be basically be targeted at developing soft skills program while the remaining five weeks will be use to develop other global skills that are targeted at employment such as ICT, sales and management, business development, business analysis and human resources which will significantly improve the performance of the young executive in the work place.”
“All this sections will be facilitated through experiential learning exercise,” Adeniyi said at the event.
Adeniyi noted that one of the root problems of Nigeria’s high unemployment rate is lack of technical skills. “Although an average young Nigeria graduates are willing to work, however they lack the required technical skills to excel in the work environment.”
“Our previous success rate was 87 percent right now we have even we have take a step closer to 90 percent,” Adeniyi said.
Nonye CallyBechi, chief operating officer at Poise Nigeria, said the firm remained committed in helping young executive better, which was why they were increasing passionate about training people from all works of life in technical and soft skills.
