FUSAP: Future-Proofing AAF Academy Graduates
This section outlines the critical need for digital skills in today's economy and introduces the Future Skills Accelerator Program (FUSAP) as a strategic solution to equip AAF Academy students for success, aligning with the academy's vision of creating problem-solving leaders.
The Challenge: A Digital Skills Gap
Traditional education often falls short in preparing students for a job market where digital literacy is paramount. In Nigeria alone, an estimated 28 million jobs will require digital skills by 2030. Professionals in vocational fields like fashion, catering, and multimedia now need "digital superpowers" to thrive and innovate.
Without these skills, even the most talented graduates risk competing in oversaturated markets instead of creating new opportunities.
