Jobberman Nigeria Soft Skills Training to launch on Coursera

Jobberman, the single largest job placement platform in Nigeria, has partnered with the world’s leading online learning platform, Coursera, to offer its widely recognized soft skills training to empower young people with the skills required for career success.

Jobberman is the first recruitment firm in Nigeria to have this unique private partnership with Coursera, wherein Jobberman authored courses will now be accessible through Coursera.

Jobberman will offer six courses on Coursera, which equip workers with skills in business etiquette, emotional intelligence, personal effectiveness, creativity, effective communication and take an average of thirteen hours to complete.

This partnership is part of Jobberman’s ambitious goal to upskill five million young Nigerians in the next five years and providing more value to its participants with a cobranded certificate from Coursera, recognized by employers globally. Jobberman is the only recruitment services platform in Nigeria that offers free training and placement of candidates in dignified work.

According to Hilda Kabushenga Kragha, Managing Director at ROAM Africa Jobs, “We are happy to be offering our soft skills training on a globally recognized platform like Coursera. Having the right skills for the workplace is beyond a university degree as many employers are looking for employees who possess the necessary soft skills.
