"Best business value emerges when projects are aligned to clear business goals,
deliver frequently and involve the collaboration of motivated and empowered people."
While conventional similarly themed 'training products' already exist they are neither fit for purpose nor fit for use, and in some cases having to be modified from its intended purpose and state, altering the quality of the original 'product'. H&A Career Transition Training (CTT) breaks away from the traditional training model focusing on the 'business' need as much as the end-user, being specifically tailored to meet the unique criterion of today's Nigeria, criterion sourced directly from key stakeholders and validated and verified by statistical data.
H&A approached the development process as we would an improvement project applying D.M.A.I.C and Lean Six Sigma methodologies.

sector
-
Informal employment limits an individual’s professional growth and their contribution to the nation’s attraction as having a qualified labour force
-
Hampers Nigeria’s ability to promote domestic investment, or attract overseas investment
-
An over reliance on unsustainable job placement programmes
-
Steps should be taken to ensure that programmes are in place to support not only educating our youth, but also support their transition to employment
-
A qualified population does not by default equate to an employed population
-
Highly populated cities are at higher risk of seeing job seekers swell beyond sustainable capacity, further impacting socioeconomic conditions negatively
-
Guides unqualified individuals through their development process towards their career aspirations, ensuring they understand training/qualification requirements for their intended career paths
-
Aides qualified individuals in securing employment commensurate with their education and skill level
-
Gives candidates the opportunity to determine how best to approach their considered career path, and be provided information on how to access Federal and State funded training opportunities
-
Is applicable to candidates who are already qualified and have employable skills but are unclear on how to access suited roles, maximising the exposure of Nigeria's already qualified population
-
Dramatically reduces the propensity of existing graduates having to 're-skill' and re-train in new fields laying waste to the time, effort, and finances already spent on their education
-
Provides a Sustainable solution ensuring that all successful candidates are equipped to manage their own career transition and continued development, ultimately becoming Self-Reliant
-
Structure has been designed for ease of repeatability and reproducibility accommodating large scale implementation and roll out to groups of up to 50 individuals with a rapid cycle through rate maintaining the integrity and quality of the content
