Regardless of when someone leaves full time education, entering the world of employment is the real 21st Century rite of passage.
You can’t get a job without experience, and you can’t get experience without a job.
Only the biggest employers have the resources to provide training for people entering the workforce.
As a result, getting a foothold on the career ladder can feel like an impossible task, especially when you live in a country that does not provide the same sort of support as the UK.
Erefa Coker is based in Nigeria, a country that does not provide a structured transition from educatioon to employment.
Instead of seeing a problem Erefa saw an opportunity and set-up a company Imo Interns.
Imo Interns provides interns for smaller companies, and at the same time provides the support and training for those young interns that can be a challenge for smaller businesses to provide.
In this episode of The Independent Minds Erefa explains to host Michael Millward how Imo Interns works, the added value that the Nigerian-based interns have delivered for companies in Europe, North America and Australia.
