Partnership and collaboration is key to ensuring sustainable development and to scale.

One major point the facilitator made was you have two things that everybody has "Time and Talent and you are the one to decide how you want to use it." We also had a session on Character Education.Character determine success. Character is who we really are, even when no one is watching. Having "Good character" means doing the right thing just because it is right to do what is ...

Project LECT is a mentorship program that aims to help young people in underserved communities to forge trajectory for their lives through leadership, character and entrepreneurship education. It's a form of early intervention program that enables high school students learn skills to help them fit into the larger society.  Did you know that young people who grow up without having positive role models in their lives are 67 percent less likely to gain employment when leaving education. This is why we pay much emphasis to mentoring. To help students connect with the practical - real world. To teach them character in order to create a peaceful society and cope in a negative society.  17/05/2017 Kayfactor Leadership Academy took a step further with Project L.E.C.T(Leadership and Entrepreneurship Training) to the North Central of Nigeria, Kwara State.

Career education has the potential to enhance the roles and life chances of students and to improve educational outcomes for students in general, and particularly for those at risk of dropping out.  At KLCA, one of our objectives is to reduce the rate of drop out in schools by helping students have a goal in mind.  We help them discover their interests, aptitude and disposition.  We help students to become engaged and productive citizens capable of replicating democracy.  #KLCA #CareerEducation

Racheal Balogun shared with the students on how they can lead themselves and help others. She said, "the young ones among us are often called ‘Leaders of Tomorrow’. While that is true, another truth is if they do not start leading from today they may never get the chance to lead tomorrow." Leadership is influencing, motivating, guiding and directing people towards achieving a common goal. However, to successfully lead people, you must have led yourself. This brings me to say there are two types of leadership: Self Leadership and People Leadership. Self Leadership is knowing who you are, your values and purpose and then pushing and motivating yourself everyday to achieve that purpose. Self leadership precedes People leadership because it builds capacity in a person to effectively lead others. You must have experienced some private victories with yourself before leading people to achieving success. We all need leadership because it helps us have good lives. Self leaders...

Excerpts from our Career Development 201 Class Course Title: Developing in your Career I Facilitator: Abdulsalam Toheeb In developing in your career, you need support in reviewing options and converting information to actions. Information is necessary for good quality career development but is not sufficient. If many of you are able to find the information you need, to understand this information, relate it to your personal needs and circumstances, and then to convert it into personal actions, majority of you will need some personal support. Some of this personal support can be provided by family and friends or by teachers.
