The 2025 edition focuses exclusively on public secondary schools in Port Harcourt to ensure that underprivileged and underserved students have equal access to quality skill acquisition, mentorship, and career guidance.

To empower 200 public school WAEC graduates in Port Harcourt with relevant skills, career readiness, and personal development tools that will position them for higher education, entrepreneurship, or employment.
By investing in 200 WAEC graduates from public schools in Port Harcourt today, the program seeks to plant seeds of innovation, resilience, and leadership that will ripple across communities tomorrow. This initiative is not just about keeping young people engaged; it is about building a generation of thinkers, problem-solvers, and nation-builders who are prepared to thrive in a fast-changing economy.
