Airtel Nigeria Joins UNICEF to Launch Youth Empowerment Programme
Through this partnership, Airtel reinforces its commitment to digital inclusion and youth empowerment, supporting initiatives that equip young people to shape their own futures and the evolving world of work.
Airtel Nigeria has partnered with UNICEF to launch Links2Work, a youth empowerment project under Generation Unlimited Nigeria (GenU 9JA). The initiative aims to connect young Nigerians to education, skills training, and employment opportunities, helping them transition into meaningful work.
As part of the collaboration, Airtel provides zero-rated access to key youth education platforms, including the Nigeria Learning Passport (NLP) and YOMA, enabling young people to access learning and skills development content without incurring data costs.
The three-year Links2Work Programme specifically targets young women aged 18–24 in Nigeria and Kenya, offering mentorship, skills development, and paid work opportunities, with a focus on digital and green sectors.
