Our career and internship unit had the opportunity to visit Fibre One , where one of our undergraduate students, Oluwadayosola Oladunjoye, is currently interning. We have received highly positive feedback from Adeyinka A., the industry supervisor, who consistently affirms our intern’s talent and recognises his valuable contributions. “Oluwadayosola consistently delivers tasks in a timely and effective manner, while also providing unique perspectives that greatly enhance the projects we undertake.”

In bridging the gaps faced by Careers Advisors in various institutions, Ashesi University organized a Career Strategy Workshop for career coaches, mentors, and team leads of various universities across West Africa. It was an immersive journey into the world of career advising and two of our career coaches, Nkiru Ukachukwu and Peace Okala- EtukESSIEN, participated in the programme.

What set this programme apart was the collaborative spirit that permeated every discussion. Connecting with fellow career advisors from diverse backgrounds and countries like Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya and so on, brought fresh perspectives and a wealth of ideas. During the program, the networking opportunities were unparalleled, fostering relationships that would undoubtedly strengthen our collective impact in guiding the next generation toward fulfilling careers.

We are excited to implement the insights gained as yearly career plans were built. These would continue to make meaningful differences in the lives of the students we guide. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible speakers, facilitators, and the entire Ashesi University team for curating such a transformative experience.
