"Nigeria faces a deep youth employment crisis, with 35% of young people unemployed and 28% underemployed as of 2022" - Federal Ministry of Youth Development

This pressure is worsened by a growing youth population entering the labour market without critical human-centred skills, alongside persistent gender and regional inequalities. The World Bank characterises this divide as “Two Nigerias”, where access to high-growth jobs is uneven, leaving youth in marginalised communities at risk of exclusion from the future of work without targeted workforce readiness support – World Bank

Future Forward Inc. by iLEAD AFRICA in collaboration with Upwork Foundation seeks to equip young Nigerians with the human-centred skills, digital readiness, and professional confidence needed to access decent work and participate meaningfully in the future economy.
