Program Details
NerdzFactory Foundation is accepting applications for the PowerUp Entrepreneurship Program 2024.
The PowerUP Entrepreneurship Program empowers young Nigerians by providing them with the necessary tools and support to excel as entrepreneurs. The program will expose participants to skills that they require to start and grow their business.
It has been established that one of the major causes of youth unemployment in Nigeria is the current high level of skills gap among young people, which makes it difficult for young people to secure decent jobs and build thriving businesses, highlighting the need for job creation and entrepreneurship programs such as PowerUp to equip young people to start and grow sustainable businesses.
To maximize impact, the program is divided into several components, including:
- PowerUp Webinar
- PowerUp BootCamp
- PowerUp Demo-Day
