The Bridge aims to address the shortcoming of workforce incompetence, unethical leadership and bulging unemployment rate by training Nigerian youth to be intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs. Using our growing platform, we embed our program alongside the existing university system to create catalystic change.
We teach our fellows new learning methodologies so they are empowered to drive their own destiny and change their story despite sub-‐optimal systems. We open their minds to global opportunities, expose them to new networks of game changers and give them the tool to make independent decisions.
The Bridge seeks to groom, empower and inspire young adults to strive for excellence and achieve self-‐actualisation. The program is positioned to help participants attain global-‐level professional competencies, become contenders for impactful career opportunities and leadership roles and become entrepreneurs that create job in their communities.
We will transform our fellows into young leaders who will ensure the socio, cultural, economic and political landscape they inhabit is positively affected and ultimately altered permanently by their presence and decisions. We will equip and create opportunities for these young leaders to identify and maximize their full potential as catalysts for change and growth.
Our Program Model Summary
The Bridge intends to capture the attention of these potential young changer-‐makers early to positively influence their misconceptions of career paths, to foster their creativity and to provide them with a broad experience required for real-‐world career success and professional excellence. Hence, our target audience are recent secondary school graduates, 1st or 2nd year university students.
Applications are currently open for our Annual 4-‐week camp For the first two weeks of the camp, participants will be placed in a rigorous learning environment where they will engage with experts and practice new concepts.
They will focus on learning new skill-‐sets using solution-‐based model. They will be introduced to critical thinking methodology and be required to apply this knowledge to solve different case studies and real life problem. They will be allowed to test their assumptions and concepts, provided hands-‐on entrepreneurship training, learn to develop their own ideas and express their opinions on issues.
They will do all of this while collaborating with other participants and working one-‐on-‐one with mentors and successful professionals and entrepreneurs. In the third week, participants will be asked to pick a social impact project, to work on and provide solutions or initiate a social change to a social problem identified in the community. Preferably, these projects will be in the inner cities or rural areas of Lagos state.
This exercise tests the concepts and learnings from the first 2 weeks. Finally in the fourth week, participants will be required to write a reflection report on their personal experience in the first 3 weeks – how they have evolved from the time they applied to TBP and also a solution report, business plan or create business campaigns for their social impact projects as a team.
These projects will be pitched to a panel for feedback and implementation on the last day of camp. Depending on the viability of the project, fellows may continue to work on project(s) in the months that follow.
