WAVE Academies are focused on getting young people ready for work and connecting them to the right entry-level jobs. We do this by identifying, training and placing talented underserved young people in entry-level jobs in high-growth industries like the hospitality and retail. We run work-readiness trainings monthly in Yaba, Ojota, Festac and Lekki. Since its launch in 2013, WAVE has trained over 400 unemployed youth and 80% are gainfully employed.

Kosi Nwaneri
Kosi heard about Wave Academies from her cousin (an alumnus) who gave her a WAVE flyer. Prior to WAVE, Kosi had just completed the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme and was job hunting. The most challenging aspect of the training for her was “the fact that as a person who loved to sleep a lot, I had to wake up very early to beat traffic and that was not a part of me. The fact that I also got a whole lot of assignments to do after every class was kinda annoying.” Kosi’s most memorable moment was the networking night when she was recognized as the most conversational person.
Kosi would like to become an entertainment lawyer and client relations professional in the tourism and hospitality sector. She would also like to establish a forum for youth to learn about self-development.
Kosi secured a job with Hans and René as a Sales representative
