PAST SESSIONS
In 2011, RISE set aside N4.5million (app $30 000, money generated from Private Sector Funding) to organize Quiz Competitions amongst Students in University Campuses across Nigeria. It is our belief that reward for excellence in our Education System can inspire better performance that will strategically position Young Nigerians as worthy of viable employment or entrepreneurial support.
In 2014, the sixth edition of the RISE National Youth Forum took a different dimension with the HANDS ON SKILLS (an interactive Video Series on practical skills that empower Youth to earn money and create Jobs) Campaign. In today’s world, to get a job to access opportunities, knowledge is not enough… SKILL IS KING.
