Skill Acquisition Programs

About Our

The initiative of our Skill Acquisition Programs at the CraftsVillage® Academy is focused on teaching Art & Crafts as a source of livelihood to people interested in starting a business from the creative trade, as well as bridging the gap in unemployment and lack of skill among the young generation through the opportunity to learn a creative skill.

The purpose of our skill acquisition program as a means of economic empowerment is to prepare and equip individuals with appropriate skills that can be beneficial in transforming them into wealth and job creators. The creation of employment will lead to poverty reduction and increase the welfare status of the individuals.

This program is targeted at youths and adults with a talent or strong interest in art and craft.

The Problem

The higher percentage of the Nigerian population is made up of youths and young people, with over 70% of the population under 35, and 42% under the age of 15. One of the biggest challenges of youths in Nigeria is unemployment, at about 33% youth unemployment rate in 2023 as the educational system has failed in providing skilled and employable Nigerian youths that has contributed to the high rate of unemployment in the country.

How To Solve The Problem

With the focus being eradication of poverty and increase of gainful employment among the youths and unemployed adults, the efforts by individuals, religious, governmental or non-governmental organizations to from time to time provide relief materials and welfare supplies to impoverished, poor, or low-income societies is recognized and commendable. However, more and more efforts should be put towards empowerment and enablement rather than mere provision.

Our Objective

Skill acquisition has proven to be the most direct way to tackle unemployment. It is an effective way to provide lasting employment opportunities. As a business, we have a great desire to partner with other establishments as a give-back to fulfill this societal need whilst still keeping business afloat. Our Skill acquisition and empowerment training is built on practical and effective learning sessions. Art and Craft, as an industry that is very broad, has the potential to solve many problems and the aim of this project is to put this solution in the hands of many.

Our Solution

Here is

As an Art and Craft Academy, we would provide Art and Craft training for talented, art-inclined or interested individuals within these institutions at a subsidized rate. The training will include any or all of the courses we provide under our Academy based on individual or institutional preference.

This initiative of the CraftsVillage® Academy project is focused on pushing the ideal for which the Academy was conceived in the first place, by identifying and teaching Art & Crafts as a source of livelihood to people interested in starting a business from the creative trade, as well as bridging the gap in unemployment and lack of skill among the young generation through the opportunity to learn a trade. Owing to our short yet rich history since our establishment in 2017, ours is a platform to foster the art culture in a declining community of artistic expressions, especially among the youth, by providing an enabling environment to teach and learn hands-on Arts and craft skills through our seasoned Art and Craft tutors.

Our Skill Acquisition training sessions take place at our facility in Lagos. However, we are also very open to holding this program within your organization’s premise, or any preferred provided location.
