In order to address the challenges of human capacity development in Nigeria, Poise Nigeria Limited has entered into a strategic partnership with the Enterprise Development Centre, EDC, of the Pan-Atlantic University, PAU. The partnership seeks to address the issue of poor employability skills among Nigerian graduates and how the situation can be managed.
During a brief in Abuja and Lagos, the company introduced ‘PSENSE’, a specially designed tool for human capital management, which takes into account and mitigates the basic challenges of the Nigerian labour force and the employability levels of Nigerian graduates. ‘PSENSE,’ a product designed by Poise Nigeria in collaboration with Biddle Consulting, USA, is an employability skills testing and certification platform.
Mrs. Ukinebo Dare, Head, Poise’ Graduate Finishing School, elucidated that it had become a necessity to have standardised assessment systems that allow for an objective and accurate measurement of the work readiness of a job candidate. According to her, today’s workplace requires that employees possess essential soft skills among which are the ability to think analytically and work strategically, articulate ideas effectively both in written and spoken forms, work under pressure, solve problems creatively, possess good ICT skills and so on.
