As the world gears up to celebrate World Youth Skills Day on July 15, OneBarrow International Limited has announced its Community Capability Initiative (CCI), a groundbreaking program designed to empower new graduates entering the corporate world.
The CEO of OneBarrow International Limited, Yemi Ajao, unveiled the initiative during an interview with journalists on Friday in Abuja. Ajao highlighted that the United Nations General Assembly declared World Youth Skills Day in 2014 to emphasize the critical importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship.
Reflecting on this year’s theme, “Youth Skills for Peace and Development,” Ajao stressed the vital role young people play in peacebuilding and conflict resolution efforts.
In line with this theme, OneBarrow’s CCI aims to equip young individuals with the skills, mindset, and confidence necessary to thrive in today’s dynamic business landscape.
“Through meticulously crafted training modules, the program seeks to prepare youths for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the corporate sector,” Ajao stated.
“CCI serves as a pipeline to companies looking to hire youths that are prepared to hit the ground running. The impact of the OneBarrow CCI training will resonate throughout the year. The skills acquired, networks formed, and knowledge gained through this program will serve as invaluable tools for the youth, enabling them to contribute to a sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous future,” he added.
Ajao emphasized that the Community Capability Initiative is not just about skills development but also about fostering a new generation of leaders equipped to drive change and innovation.
“As young graduates embark on their professional journeys, CCI will support them in creating meaningful and lasting impacts in their communities and beyond,” he noted.
“Given the global emphasis on youth skills and development, OneBarrow International’s CCI stands as a testament to the organization’s commitment to nurturing the potential of young people and addressing global challenges through strategic empowerment,” Ajao reiterated.
