The Federal Ministry of Youth Development has introduced the NiYA NYSC Orientation Camp Programme to help corps members gain practical and employable skills during their service year.
The programme is designed to prepare young Nigerians for future opportunities by providing access to career-focused courses and certifications. Corps members are expected to complete at least two NiYA courses during their NYSC service year.
According to the organisers, the courses are aimed at helping participants develop skills that can improve employment opportunities, support entrepreneurship, and prepare them for future youth empowerment programmes and grants.
About the Programme
The NiYA programme offers different learning categories and courses tailored to the goals and interests of corps members. Participants can explore several career-focused areas and gain practical knowledge that will remain useful after service year.
One of the featured courses is “Mastering Confident Presentation,” which teaches participants how to present ideas confidently, influence decisions, and improve public speaking skills.
The organisers explained that public speaking is one of the most valuable skills needed for career growth and professional success.
