Jobberman has partnered with Coursera, to offer soft skills training to empower young people with the skills required for career success.
A statement noted that Jobberman is the first recruitment firm in Nigeria to partner with Coursera.
“Jobberman will offer six courses on Coursera, which equip workers with skills in business etiquette, emotional intelligence, personal effectiveness, creativity, effective communication and take an average of thirteen hours to complete.
“This partnership is part of Jobberman’s ambitious goal to upskill five million young Nigerians in the next five years and providing more value to its participants with a co-branded certificate from Coursera, recognized by employers globally.
“Jobberman is the only recruitment services platform in Nigeria that offers free training and placement of candidates in dignified work,” it added.
Managing Director at ROAM Africa Jobs, Hilda Kabushenga Kragha, said, “We are happy to be offering our soft skills training on a globally recognised platform like Coursera.

The most successful businesses today are the ones that invest in soft skills training for employees; they are growing in revenue and leading their industries.
“In these times of change and uncertainty, this partnership with Coursera will further help in providing high-quality training that helps employees develop their soft skills which will ensure that both organisations and their employees succeed.”
