Shaping Career Choices, Transforming Minds!

Choosing the right career is one of the most important decision every individual has to make in life. This decision has always been challenging even for informed adults. 

However, with DKCC venturing into projects like interactive forums in secondary schools, radio/television shows, social media platforms and a magazine called ‘RENEWED…transforming young minds’ www.renewedmagazine.blogspot.com, these projects will stand as mediums to showcase young and growing Nigerian entrepreneurs, those who are building their dream careers, and also those who have had a career switch but generally making a difference. Telling their stories, challenges and dreams as a means to encourage the younger generation on choosing the right career. 

Some of our tools/packages include: career choice questionnaires, schools' assessment questionnaires, career counselling clubs in schools and an online career counselling platform.

"Nowadays, young people go into college to study a particular course but upon graduation, they end up following a career path that’s totally different and unrelated to what they studied. And it’s ‘OK’ to say that having a degree lays a foundation for one to build any career. However, this kind of thinking is what has left many graduates in Nigeria today job seekers. They go to college, study a course then upon graduation realise they don’t have passion for it. Whereas, passion and skills are the basics needed for a job procurement or building any career path whatsoever. And if we have graduates from different fields with lack of interest to make significant input or impact, they we keep having little or no innovation, invention and interventions in each sector, which reflects badly on our economic growth as a nation."

In a nutshell, this platform is giving me the opportunity to follow my dreams, thereby having my social enterprise established and structured in a way that also creates opportunity and jobs within my reach. Building a team that would be a voice and a guide to young people in Nigeria by pointing them in the direction of vocational education, encourage more small and medium entrepreneurs.




I happen to be a lawyer by profession and called to the Nigerian bar with no interest in the legal profession. 

I am building a career in professional administration as well as a food and fashion entrepreneur. And I am so very passionate about reaching out to young people.

And I'm hoping it's YOU!
