Our Methodology
We’re knowledge focused, research and development driven and we teach and create courses in technical skills relevant for the Future of Work. We conceptualize and deliver data driven project/product models for private and public sector organizations and institutions for the good and growth of society. We host Ideathons, Hackathons, Events and partner across Industries on result-oriented projects of mutual benefit that align with our core values and principles. We also serve as a Talent Pipeline that leverages emerging technologies and to improve the skills set of young professionals for industry fitness in this digital world of work.
We designed and built Ise the Job Bot, a smart edtech/eLearning driven chatbot as a Work Readiness/Career Coaching Chatbot and it is the first of its kind in Africa. It provides answers to an array of inquiries made from it by users on various aspects of Career Growth, Job Search and Work Readiness. The Chat Bot is integrated into our website and adopts Facebook Messenger as its platform to engage its users in conversations who are mainly undergraduates, Nigeria Youth Corpers, unemployed/underemployed Graduates and working professionals.
Ise leverages AI/Machine Learning methodologies of Natural Language Processing/Natural Language Understanding of Deep Learning and Algorithms from queries received and data fed to it by humans (users) to help them search for Jobs, inform them about new & open job opportunities and coaches them for interviews. It was developed under strict supervision and it’s adherent to international best practice. Its Beta testing Phase has proved that the bot can handle several complex conversations
