According to Jacob Morgan, author of The Future of Work: Attract New Talent, Build Better Leaders, and Create a Competitive Organization, �What you learned in school and the diploma you earned is important for getting a job, but it isn�t everything you need to know.� He further noted that, �The big challenge for a lot of people today is that they typically learn something and they assume that what they learn is going to carry with them for the rest of their lives.�
Akinwande Akinsulire, the Managing Partner of Nerilus International, in his address says, �lack of requisite skills to deliver on the job is still one of the major issues employers are confronting in the workplace. Even though, a number of young Nigerians graduate with good grades from their respective tertiary institutions, most of them do not possess essential skills required to thrive in a 21st century workplace.� He further noted that, the management consulting giant, Nerilus International is happy to partner with a dynamic and innovative analyst education provider in Africa, Global Analyst Academy in equipping the Africa workforce and preparing African youth for the future of work.
