In October 2026 the Circle chose limited exposure to career possibilities among secondary school students as its winnable issue. It plans a Career Sensitization Tour of secondary schools in Awka (t/1985).
Local context
In Anambra, many skilled tech talents struggle to access opportunities because they are not properly positioned for the job market. There is a gap between learning skills and being job-ready, limited exposure to global opportunities, and a visibility problem where talented people are not seen by the right opportunities.
Winnable Issue: Improving Job Readiness Among Tech Talents in Anambra
Goal: Help local tech talents become job-ready and access opportunities through practical CV and job application training, expert-led sessions, and structured mentorship.
Status: In progress. The circle ran a Practical CV and Job Application Training that drew over 70 attendees, covering ATS-friendly CVs, the application process, and positioning for opportunities. It has since moved from one-off training to measuring impact, launching a CV Review Initiative with personalized feedback through Google Classroom and an impact-tracking framework (CVs reviewed, feedback implemented, interviews secured, and jobs landed).
