Promasidor Nigeria Limited has unveiled its career guidance to secondary school students in Enugu State as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative, tagged ‘Harness Your Dream.’
The Managing Director of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, Mr. Anders Einarsson, said that the company was deeply committed to supporting Nigerian youths in fulfilling their potentials, adding that the motivation for the initiative was to guide students to choose careers that match their talents, skills and aspirations.
He encouraged the students to take advantage of other projects by Promasidor, including Cowbellpedia Secondary School Mathematics Television Quiz Show, which is sponsored by the company’s flagship brand, Cowbell.
According to him, “These initiatives are not inspired by excess funds as we have limited resources like every other company. The difference we have made lies in our genuine passion in assisting you to achieve your
dreams.”
Einarsson further added that,“the choice of courses taught at the programme was skewed towards helping the benefitting students ultimately becoming gainfully employed and useful to themselves and the society. Next year, we are going to change the syllabus because this one has run for a whole year and we will like to incorporate other professions and careers into the
programme.”
The state commissioner for education, Prof. Uche Eze, speaking at the fourth edition of the career guidance programme which was held at Queen’s School, Enugu, commended Promasidor’s effort for extending its initiative to the state in the purpose of adding value to the students.
However, the state commissioner, who was represented by Mrs. Chidiogo Ugodu, said that the impact of the project would be felt in the years ahead of the beneficiaries, who would now be able to make the right career choices.
Ugodu urged Promasidor to consider extending “Harness Your Dream” to other schools in the state, particularly those in the rural communities.
“I have harnessed my dream today. With this programme, the students now know about other career choices. Promasidor, we thank you for coming to Enugu and we thank you for adding value to us. We will like you to extend this programme to other parts of the state,” she said.
Also speaking, the Principal of Queen’s School, Enugu, Mrs. Ada Nweke, also thanked Promasidor for extending the programme to the state.
“You did not make any mistake by choosing our state as one of your catchment zones. Our amiable governor is education friendly. He always wants to see children achieve their aims in life,” Nweke said.
The celebrity appearance by Nollywood actresses and humanists who founded the Aneke Twins Foundation, Chidinma and Chidiebere Aneke, heightened the interest of the students in the programme.
The primary objective of “Harness Your Dreams” is to help public school students understand varieties of career options and guide them along their career paths.
