About Feolami Awe-Joseph
Founder, Educational Guidance Development Initiative (College Guide Africa) | Youth Employability and Skills Development
Feolami is a young changemaker from Nigeria who is empowering young Africans with skills and opportunities for employment, bridging the gap between education and the industry needs of the 21st century. Her experience as an HR intern exposed her to the widespread issue of unemployability among young Nigerian graduates, which inspired her to launch her initiative.
Feolami's initiative leverages social media to create practical spaces where young people can learn and develop essential life, career, and leadership skills, as well as receive guidance to navigate various phases of life beyond the traditional classroom. She organises workshops, mentors young changemakers, and leads community-driven programs such as the Global Education Summit and skill development cohorts.
Through these accessible and youth-friendly opportunities, she empowers others to grow, lead, and make informed decisions about their futures. As a dedicated advocate for youth empowerment, Feolami is committed to helping countless young Africans acquire employable skills, secure jobs, and build successful careers, ultimately contributing to the economic growth and development of the continent.
