Career Counseling for Students

The Career Counseling Scheme, an employee volunteering program is an aspect of the internal CSR of Etisalat which falls under the Adopt-A-School Initiative. Through volunteering program, employees have the opportunity to fulfill their desire of impacting the society positively. Employees are encouraged to volunteer their time and employ their skills in providing career counseling as well as mentorship to students of secondary schools.

The key objective is to guide the students appropriately towards making the right and fulfilling career choices as a wrong career move may have long-term negative effects. Our focus is mainly on our adopted schools, but other schools are equally included in the program. The career counseling scheme is continuous and it is designed to be implemented at least three times yearly in schools.

As is with all our initiatives, the career counseling program is implemented in partnership with NGOs and other development institutions. We are currently partnering with Lagos State Empowerment and Resource Network (L.E.A.R.N) which is driven by the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Her Excellency, Mrs. Abimbola Fasola.
