"Education is the great engine of personal
development. It is through education thatthe daughter of a peasant can become adoctor, that the son of a mine worker can
become the head of the mine, that a child offarm workers can become the president of a
great nation. It is what we make out ofwhat we have, not what we are given, that
separates one person from another”-Nelson Mandela

OVERVIEW OF THE NYSC SCHEME
MEANING AND OBJECTIVE
NYSC – National Youth Service Corps

AIMSOver the years, in addition to its original theme, the scheme now focuses on equipping the youths with the right mental attitude, knowledge and skill sets needed to take on the work force.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE NYSC SCHEME
SAED
CDS
Employment Creation
Loan Provision
National Consciousness
SAED- Skills Acquisitions and Entrepreneurial Development. This is a program used to equip corps members with entrepreneurial skills. This was developed to help curb unemployment.
Community Development Service- which is to harness the youths to contribute initiative and manpower towards the development of their host communities
PPA -Primary place of assignment. Corps members are placed in companies and other organizations during their service year and sometimes get retained after service.
The scheme in partnership with Bank of Industry, provides loan at a lower interest rate for those who may have viable business proposals.
By constantly reminding the nation of the need to promote national unity and develop especially the rural areas, the scheme pricks the conscience of the nation to its responsibility.
7
INADEQUATE ENTREPRENEURIAL AND FINANCIAL LITERACY AMONGST THE SAED TRAINERS
Some of the SAED trainers do not have knowledge of entrepreneurship and financial literacy and so the youths are not trained on how to start and sustain a small enterprise and see it grow into a large company. They are not equipped with business acumen to sustain the taught craft and a good number of the businesses fail within a year of establishment.
REDEPLOYMENT IN RELATION TO THE SAED PROGRAM
Almost 60% of the youths transfer back to their state of domicile or a close proximity to their state right after the camp making it impossible to continue the SAED program started off in the camp.
INSUFFICIENT PLACE OF PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT
Sometimes the organizations or companies turn down the corps members posted to them. They end up applying in companies that have little or no relation to their area of expertise.

ONGOING BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
16
After the entrepreneurship training, the corps members through their business plans are then given opportunities to access funding and loans
There is need for access to market post production, as the ultimate goal is either consumption or employment of service, whichever is being provided
Funds made available either from cooperatives formed through LAPO or RIBY or direct funding from BOI AND CBN
In partnership with LAPO and RIBY the corps members will be linked to other value chain in similar markets to network

NEED TO SCALE UP
20
We have succeeded in reaching out to a total of 3000 Corps members till date
There is greater need for expansion to cater for over 300,000 person deployed annually.
This can be achieved by increasing the number of trainers from 40 to a 1500, over a period of 3 years; that way the trainers can reach more corps members
Ultimate aim is to ensure that at least one third of the total corps member mobilized start a viable business that can employ 3-10 persons
Reduction of unemployment rate.
