There is only one thing in the long run more expensive than education:
no education.”

The Centre of Practical Skills is being established in partnership with Godfrey Okoye University, one of the fastest growing private universities in Nigeria, providing quality education for a broad range of fields. The affiliation with the university will help to ensure that the graduates can receive certificates recognised by the government of Nigeria. Furthermore, cooperation with European TVET institutions has been established to ensure that graduates are properly qualified to work with European companies.  The university and the Centre will use Park’s infrastructure, and the training courses will be aligned with the needs of the investing companies.

The programme utilises the dual education approach, already well-tested and successfully applied in Europe (e.g. Austria, Germany, and Switzerland). The approach combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills. The practical part of the training is essential, and includes no less than 70% of training spent in practical workshops and/or on-the job training at European partner companies, operating in the Business Park. The training will last up to 12 months, depending on individual job profiles and curriculum. The job profiles will depend on the direct and immediate demands of the companies establishing presence in the Business Park as well as needs of local, national and international companies, operating in Nigeria.
