Jobberman has partnered with the world’s leading online learning platform, Coursera, to offer its widely recognized soft skills training to empower young people with the skills required for career success.
Jobberman is the first recruitment firm in Nigeria to have this unique private partnership with Coursera, wherein Jobberman authored courses will now be accessible through Coursera.
Jobberman will offer six courses on Coursera, which equip workers with skills in business etiquette, emotional intelligence, personal effectiveness, creativity, effective communication and take an average of thirteen hours to complete.
This partnership is part of Jobberman’s ambitious goal to upskill five million young Nigerians in the next five years and provide more value to its participants with a cobranded certificate from Coursera, recognized by employers globally.
According to Hilda Kabushenga Kragha, Managing Director at ROAM Africa Jobs, “We are happy to be offering our soft skills training on a globally recognized platform like Coursera. Having the right skills for the workplace is beyond a university degree as many employers are looking for employees who possess the necessary soft skills. The most successful businesses today are the ones that invest in soft skills training for employees; they are growing in revenue and leading their industries. In these times of change and uncertainty, this partnership with Coursera will further help in providing high-quality training that helps employees develop their soft skills which will ensure that both organizations and their employees succeed.”
