Applications are open for Youthrive by Access Bank Cohort 3. Access Bank is giving you a 3 months of tech training in partnership with CareerEx—completely FREE. No fees. No hidden costs. Just straight-up skills that get you into tech.

Their program combines practical learning with project-based experience to prepare participants for careers in tech, addressing the skills gap in today’s fast-paced, digital economy. Participants engage with real-world projects, receive guidance from mentors, and build portfolios that showcase their skills to potential employers.

With Nigeria’s youth unemployment rate at approximately 42.5%, the need for practical job skills in the tech sector is at an all-time high. CareerEx provides training aligned with market needs, preparing students for viable careers and fostering tech-driven economic growth.

Their collaboration with Access Bank has enabled them to train good numbers of participants in tech-related skills, with plans for expansion.

While traditional education equips students with foundational knowledge, many graduates lack the practical experience required for tech roles. In Nigeria and globally, this disconnect between academic learning and employable skills limits career advancement and economic growth.
