LAGOS – RIBARA, the premier employability, and education-focused social media platform has announced its highly anticipated 2024 “Get Employable” Conference. The virtual networking event and masterclasses are tailored for early-career professionals, final-year university students, and penultimate-year students in fields such as Engineering, Technology, Computer Science, Digital Marketing, Architecture, Business, Management Consulting, and Finance. The conference will take place virtually on December 21, 2024, at 10:00 AM.
Participants will have the unique opportunity to engage with 17 top industry experts in a Masterclass, learn from their success stories and gain hands-on strategies to excel in their chosen career paths—whether as aspiring entrepreneurs or professionals in Fortune 500 companies. One of the co-founders, Dr. Ada Peter, a Visiting Professor at the Paris School of International Affairs and Director of the Center for Learning Resources at Covenant University, emphasised the comprehensive benefits of the conference: “The “Get Employable” event is more than just a conference; it’s a transformative journey for participants to assess, track, and improve their global job readiness.
“At the pre-conference event on December 19, registered participants will gain exclusive access to career networking secrets that can set them apart. Post-conference, they will also have the chance to join the RIBARA 2025 Job Readiness Challenge, equipping them with practical skills and tools to excel in their chosen careers. “With tailored streams for entrepreneurs and 9-to-5 professionals, we’re ensuring participants walk away with actionable insights to navigate their paths to success.
” On the social platform, users get the opportunity to self-assess or use Ribara’s objective assessment to understand their job readiness gaps, with recommendations on how to close identified gaps. RIBARA is also at the forefront of closing employability gaps in education. The platform is currently collaborating with several Nigerian universities to address gaps identified in the National Universities Commission’s (NUC) newly released Core Curriculum Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS).
By aligning each university’s curricula with industry demands, RIBARA is helping each partnering institution enhance the industry relevance of their teaching and better prepare graduates for the workforce. Participants at the “Get Employable” Conference and Masterclass will learn directly from Industry experts and leading executives at top global organizations. They will discover their employability gaps and hear what hiring managers look for in candidates.
Other critical aspects include networking mastery, building a professional brand, acing interviews, and creating valuable connections with serious young professionals, mentors, and experts who can open doors to future opportunities. Esther Chidi-Bernard, RIBARA’s Community and Marketing Manager, added: “RIBARA is more than a platform—it’s a bridge to employability. The Get Employable Conference is a golden opportunity for participants to gain the practical knowledge and professional connections they need to stand out in today’s competitive job market.
By combining Ribara’s innovative tools with mentorship, RIBARA empowers users to take charge of their career journeys.” The conference will feature an impressive lineup of speakers, including:.
