Kayode Alabi Leadership and Career Initiative (KLCI)

We ( Kayode Alabi Leadership and Career Initiative- KLCI ) are more delighted to start 2019 in an amazing fashion. We were able to include Global Citizenship into our curriculum and introduce secondary school students in underserved communities to it. This is also to complement our project "Project LECT (Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Character Training). So today, we had a session on Global Citizenship with Community Comprehensive High School Students, Olambe. We identified problems that not only affects us but other people across the world and we identified ways in standing up for such problems. We did this using two different task; 1. In other people's shoe's; Where students wrote in shoes how they will take action on illiteracy, climate change, violence, teenage pregnancy, poverty etc. The students after this exchanged the shoes and were asked to present what the other person has written in the shoe. They had to deal with the handwriting and t...

Our Executive Director "Hammed Kayode Alabi" joined the whole world to celebrate the World Education Day by sharing his thoughts on Education as a key driver for inclusion and empowerment. This will probably enlighten someone or encourage someone to take action on educational issues. Find full article below;  Education is derived from a latin word educere or educare which means to lead out, to bring out, to mold or to train. Education is to bring out the innate potential in every individual. Education in another dimension is the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes in order to become a responsible member of the society. Education without the acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values is just synonymous to schooling. The number of years spent in school or the act of going to school without learning. An education that refuses to bring out the innate potential in an individual is not a true education. An education that denies ones the abili...

Anytime I visit Lekki or some top secondary schools accross Lagos, I noticed these schools have all what it takes to teach their students 21st century skills. I entered one of the class, the class had a projector, free WiFi and conducive with air condition. I asked myself how much would a student pay to enjoy many of these Facilities? Over =N=300,000 per term (3 month) which is equivalent to $1000 (Excluding fee for extra-curricular). I looked at myself and I said, "The community where I was raised, students do not have access to such facilities." Let's forget the facilities, "can they even afford $3 for feeding ?. The children of you and I may find it difficult to attend such schools. I visited a school in a particular area in Ogun State and I saw the teacher hustling with a student to ensure he pays his school fee. You may want to ask how much 1000 Naira I.e. equivalent to $3. The fact is children in rural communities face starkly a different life because of th...

Partnership and collaboration is key to ensuring sustainable development and to scale. Today, we took another step towards ensuring that young people in underserved communities have access to mentorship and counselling. Tripple-B  Leadership Academy (TBLA) in collaboration with Kayfactor Leadership and Career Academy organized a mentorship program for Ajeromi Secondary School Students, Ajegunle. We had a General Session, where our facilitators talked about Personal leadership which includes developing a vision and finding out your uniqueness in today's world. 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 ...

Whoa! It's a year already. This time last year we were pregnant with this dream. The dream to ensure that Secondary School Students live up to their potential. The dream to ensure that they can connect what they do in the classroom with the practical world. The dream to ensure that students develop life skills that enable them integrate into the labor market. The dream to provide positive role models and mentors to students. And create students who are character conscious and can replicate democracy. The dream to promote a peaceful society and create young and ethical leaders. The dream to break the poverty cycle and ensure that students in underserved communities are exposed to skills that enable them to compete with their peers. The dream to inspire them to dream. To our delight, we are happy students have start to make decisions that affect their lives and lives of other people. Some of our students have started the Say No To Girl Child Abuse Initiative. That's amazi...

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

Partnership is key to ensuring sustainable development and doing more with less.  Today we took a step forward in our mentorship program and we worked with Kehinde Oloriade Mentorship Academy to mentor students of the Baptist Academy, Obanikoro, Lagos.  After the general sessions on Leadership and Career Development. We had a group mentoring session with the kids based on their area of interest and Strength.  The groups were;  ICT and Tech Health and Medicine Business and Entrepreneurship Creative and Engineering.  Each group had at least a mentor to offer Guidance and Counselling.  It was indeed a great one. We were able to promote collaboration between the students and help them have a goal in mind.  We look forward to future partnership.  Thank you Kehinde Oloriade Mentorship Academy (KOMA) for the opportunity.

Today we were at Jobams International Schools, Ketu, Lagos State for our career symposium and mentorship program. Dr. Kehinde Oloriade talk to the students on Leadership. Gave them tips on goal settings and how they can go about implementing the goals. Mr Adedeji, currently a CYFI Fellow, shared with the students on how tech can be used to drive the Entrepreneurship world. The students were also educated on character development. They were educated on how they can build strong values to achieve their dreams. After the general session, we had a one one coaching and group mentoring session. We were amazed by the results we get from the students. At KLCA, we are geared towards understanding students needs and helping them to meet their career needs through Counselling.
