"You went to school, graduated, you Chartered or even had a Masters or Phd. You did everything right - but no one wants to hire you without experience."
Even with a first class degree, most Nigerian graduates remain unemployed because employers want proof you can do the job, not just know the theory.
That’s the painful truth:
The more educated you are, the more experience is expected - and sadly, your CV doesn’t reflect that.
Statistics show that individuals with post-secondary education face higher unemployment rates.
This trend suggests a mismatch between the skills acquired through higher education and the demands of the labour market. That’s why we created this Virtual Accounting Internship.
An internship is essentially a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited time.
Think of it as a trial run, a chance for you to get your feet wet in a particular industry or role and for the organization to see what you're capable of.
It usually entails:
- Learning by doing
- Skill development
- Career exploration
- Networking
- Duration
This virtual accounting internship solves the demands of the labour market.
We give you real-world accounting tasks, remote tools, and portfolio-ready projects that employers trust.
