UN Man; You send me the book that contains the knowledge on the job training. And you will be talking about different models
UN Woman; You would also be talking about soft skill drive for financial literacy with some basic training.
UN Man; Then we need to affiliate with the technical department. The curriculum that you are providing should be endorsed by the government.
Isaac; one good thing is that we are already approved by the government to issue diploma certificates. We can give our certificate from the 7star institute
UN Man; ooh it is called 7star?
Isaac; it is approved by the government and signed by relevant authorities our certificate is valued. When you train with us and we issue you a certificate you can get a job anywhere in the world. We have that of 7star already. For Alone, we need to edit some things to suit this purpose. We will also get the website active. I don’t have to show up anything. With
the partnership now. We just have to get our website active.
UN Man; that is very important. We would like to access your resources to see what you are doing and the government certificate or proving the certificate. So where is the 7star located?
Isaac; it is in Lagos, we are currently undergoing accreditation, that is a document you need to present for your program to be approved. Certificates such as 3, 6, and 9. Months do not require approval.
We can issue them because we are already an institution. I can show you, that we are looking at ND in Civil engineering technology, ND in Mechanical Engineering Minerals, Welding Fabrication, Renewable Energy, Computer Engineering, Electrical Electronics, Industrial Safety and Environmental Engineering, Marin Transportation, Procurements Supply, Hospitality, Fashion Design and Clothing, Environmental Science and Management, so this is what we are doing now with the Government to get approval for OND, HND, which is like and equivalent to University degree.
UN Man; so where is the institution located? As such you have a good structure for all of these?
Isaac; we have put a lot such as classrooms, hostels, workshop, football pitch, swimming pool etc.
UN Woman; basically anyone who trains here is issues a certificate?
Isaac; When we train people here, we will take them to Lagos for practicals. We do the theory here but the practical in Lagos
UN Man; why are you coming to Adamawa and Bornu state, why not Lagos?
Isaac; they have more vulnerable people than Lagos
UN Woman; so anyone can come and do the training?
Isaac; Yeah we can train people all over the world
Un Man; the commitment to the bridge, the bridge that we would be sharing information and the second is signing an agreement with you for the program to start. Stating from North West.
Isaac; we train the youth here and take them to Lagos for practicals. Then get commitment from some airlines and big factories and industries to employ youth
UN Man; so that will be a commitment to the agreement. First, let’s start with the concept note for
the Youth Training Program.
Isaac; [referring to Temi] showing she just finish supervising about ten schools under GIZ, so we have capable hands, knowledge and experience. She has been training Youth in schools for ten years
Temi; feed and read children; for the vulnerable children.
Isaac; so I have a good team here and my team in Lagos. If we start something over time we must have good accommodation because the hotel is quite expensive. We can just have accommodation where, when visitors come they can stay although; there will be a lot of government white tickets.
UN Man; all this discussion should be put in black and white. Go ahead and do it.
Isaac; trust me when I talk about appreciating your passion it is not out of a political statement. I understand the passion, I once used to evacuate phases, I was a conductor, take money from people go to the farm, it takes us about 20-30 km into the farm, and we spend a minimum of about 4 weeks on the farm before coming back to the city. I have gone through many faces. I know what these people are going through, that is why I can take my income and spend it on them.
