Graduate Leadership Program

October 2025 Intake

Introduction

It is common knowledge that too many youths are graduating from tertiary institutions today with expectations that cannot be fulfilled. They face exceptionally uncertain future either due to inadequate education or inappropriate education. These young graduates, pushed to frustration, are increasingly engaged in bahaviours of faced with conditions which jeopardize their lives and prospectives for independent productive lives. The situation is precarious.

First, too many young graduates lack the skills and competencies needed for future success in the world of work. As we have found out, of those who want to enter the workforce, many have little understanding of the rules of the workplace, and limited ability to work as members of a team, solve problems or make decisions.

Second, too many fresh graduates lack connection to adult-figures, community, and society. Changes in societal structures, less neighbourhood cohesiveness, and diminishing opportunities for gainful employment have left many young graduates confused and isolated from society.

Finally, too many young graduates engage in behaviors that threaten their future. They are involved in several anti-social behaviours which have tragic consequences, such as heavy alcohol, drug abuse, cultism, yahoo, ritual killings, gangsterism, and much more.

These problems exist, not just because these graduates want to be a problem to themselves and society, but because of an inadequate vision of how to them to maximize their potentials.

Rationale

FGLP seeks to build the individual assets or competencies (knowledge, skills, relationships, values) of fresh graduates to enable them participate successfully in the world of work and public life.

It is a fact that fresh graduates from affluent or low-income, need a mix of services, supports, opportunities, and networks that provide nurturing, standards, and guidance for trying new roles, mastering challenges, and contributing to national development.
