What We Do
Youth unemployment and underemployment remain significant challenges, and we know that the journey from education to employment can be daunting. By providing young people with early exposure to the working world, we aim to break down barriers and level the playing field. Our goal is to create a future where every young person, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to succeed
OUR IMPACT
Since our inception, the Eze Foundation has helped hundreds of young people gain invaluable work experience, build their professional networks, and secure meaningful employment. Our programs are tailored to meet the needs of diverse communities, ensuring that all young people have access to the support they need to reach their full potential.
Work Experience Programs
We offer a range of work experience placements, internships, and job shadowing opportunities that allow young people to gain hands-on experience in their fields of interest. By partnering with businesses of all sizes, we create opportunities that are both impactful and accessible.
Mentorship & Coaching
Our network of dedicated mentors and career coaches provide personalized guidance and support, helping young people to identify their strengths, set goals, and develop the skills they need to succeed.
Workshops & Training
From resume writing to interview preparation, our workshops and training sessions are designed to equip young people with the practical skills needed to enter the workforce. We focus on building confidence, communication, and the resilience needed to thrive in any work environment.
Networking Opportunities
We connect young people with professionals and industry leaders through networking events, career fairs, and industry visits. These connections not only open doors but also inspire and motivate young people to pursue their career ambitions.
Bridging the gaps
We aim to bridge the gap between school and the working world, between the inexperienced and introductory placements. There is a growing need for opportunities for people without the access to them, we aim to help solve this.
Empowering
Giving young people the capacity for their hard work to pay off, empowering them to have dreams bigger than their surroundings would suggest, and then then foresight and resources to achieve them
Developing
Identifying skills and talents in the early ages, teaching the youth how to focus on them and develop interests that will help them in the working world
