The Noella Foundation has officially announced the highly anticipated second edition of its transformative Life After School Summit, scheduled to take place in November 2025. This groundbreaking initiative aims to bridge the critical gap between academic education and real-world career readiness for Nigerian students.
Building on the remarkable success of its inaugural edition, the foundation is expanding its reach to impact even more young Nigerians. The summit represents a strategic response to the growing need for practical skills development among the country's youth population.
Comprehensive Skill Development Program
The 2025 summit will feature an enhanced curriculum designed to address the most pressing challenges facing Nigerian graduates. Participants will gain access to:
- Career guidance sessions with industry experts
- Entrepreneurship workshops for aspiring business owners
- Digital skills training for the modern workplace
- Leadership development programs to nurture future changemakers
- Networking opportunities with professionals and peers
Addressing Youth Unemployment
With Nigeria's youth unemployment rate remaining a significant concern, the Life After School Summit provides timely intervention. The program focuses on equipping students with market-relevant skills that increase their employability and entrepreneurial capabilities.
"Our mission extends beyond academic excellence," explained a foundation representative. "We're committed to preparing students for the practical challenges and opportunities they'll encounter after graduation."
Expanded Reach and Impact
The second edition promises broader participation across multiple Nigerian states, with both physical and virtual attendance options. This hybrid approach ensures accessibility for students from various geographical and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Registration details and specific dates will be announced in the coming months through the foundation's official channels and partner educational institutions.
