Millennium Fellowship Project: Teen Triumph
The Teen Triumph is a project designed during the application to the Millennium Fellowship Class 2023. The initiative is targeted towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). More specifically, Teen Triumph addresses the 4th target of the goal - Relevant Skills for Decent Work
- which says that by 2030, substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship.
In line with this goal, Teen Triumph seeks to empower teenagers to discover and reach their full potential, overcome challenges, make the right decisions and ultimately achieve their life goals. The
project is born out of the fact that beyond work-specific skills, emphasis must be placed on developing high-level cognitive and non-cognitive/transferable skills, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, communication skills and conflict resolution.
Our goal is that by the end of the project, at least 5% of high school students in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria will demonstrate cognitive and transferable skills that are beyond the lessons taught in the four walls of classrooms. We set the objective to organize soft-skill training in a few high schools in Ibadan for the students. The aim is to empower
them with the right mindset, skills and knowledge they need to emerge as well-rounded young adults.
