The Undergraduate Empowerment and Sensitization Scheme (UESS) is a transformative platform designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry, empowering Nigerian undergraduates with the skills, knowledge, and mentorship they need to thrive. We believe in building a generation of future leaders and entrepreneurs who can drive positive change in their communities and the nation.
Our core mission is to equip students with practical, in-demand skills through skillset training in product manufacturing, technology, and agriculture. We also provide crucial financial education to ensure students build sustainable financial habits and manage their resources effectively. Recognizing the power of guidance, we facilitate meaningful mentorship connections between students and experienced alumni, offering personalized support and career insights.
The purpose behind UESS stems from the need to create a structured and accessible pathway for students to gain real-world experience and build valuable networks. By connecting students with mentors who have walked their path, we provide invaluable guidance and support. We also enable passionate individuals to share their knowledge through course creation, enriching the learning experience.
UESS benefits students by providing free access to critical skills training, financial literacy, and mentorship, ultimately boosting their employability and entrepreneurial potential. Mentors gain the satisfaction of giving back to their alma mater and shaping the next generation. Course creators contribute to building a powerful learning community, while expanding their reach and impact.
Our goal is to empower 100,000 undergraduates across 20 higher institutions in the next five years, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout Nigeria.
