ACCA Promotes Youth Empowerment


 The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants(ACCA), a global body for professional accountants, recently organised a programme to expose them to how to pursue global qualification in accountancy and empower them on how to secure better job options.

The programme titled: "Connecting Futures" which was supported bty Zenith bank had in attendance;members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) which also include prospective customers, students.


The acting Country Manager, ACCA, Mr. Olatunji Adeleye in a statement
“Over the last few years what we have done to reward excellence in terms of people that passed their exam is just to put them in the newspaper. So one of the things we also wanted to use this event to achieve is to reward them publicly and let them also share with other students who have been struggling in their ACCA journey that it is actually possible.

“We have lots of career opportunities in ACCA and i think our last resort is to let every single stakeholder understand that just getting a university degree is no longer enough. We are in the era where we are building professional graduates and we build for the future,” he explained.He said the programme would also be extended to Port Harcourt and Abuja in the coming months.“So basically, is all about providing that shortcut for our students and to let them know that we are always there to support them.”
