Future-X Unilever Campus Ambassadors Programme (FUCAP), in partnership with UNICEF, has trained more than 900,000 young Nigerians in employability, digital, and entrepreneurial skills.
The initiative was launched two and a half years ago and is designed to prepare students for the modern labour market.
The programme runs through UNICEF’s Youth Agency Marketplace digital platform, supported by social media engagement and campus networks in tertiary institutions.
It is part of Generation Unlimited, a global public-private partnership chaired in Nigeria by Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Building Skills for the Future
Managing Director of Unilever Nigeria Plc, Tobi Adeniyi, explained that the programme combines digital learning with on-campus engagement.
“Over 85,000 students have been reached through 30 career seminars in universities and polytechnics,” he said.
These seminars were organized by trained Unilever Future Career Ambassadors in collaboration with partner institutions.
Adeniyi noted that the initiative focuses on practical skills and career guidance to improve job prospects.
He added that the programme helps students connect academic learning with industry needs.
Chief of UNICEF Lagos Office and Lead for Generation Unlimited Nigeria, Celine Lafoucriere, said the partnership is bridging the gap between education and employment.
She explained, “The programme in 20 universities provides students with training, digital skills, and guidance to facilitate their transition into jobs.”
The initiative continues to expand its reach, offering Nigerian youth opportunities to gain relevant skills, improve employability, and prepare for future careers.
