Authorities of the Lagos Business School say they have engaged seven
youths to participate in the institution’s faculty training initiative
for young scholars.
The participants, a statement on Monday said, were from the school’s Young Talent Programme inaugurated in 2014.
According to the lead faculty on the YTP, Dr. Uchenna Uzo, the initiative seeks to build a relationship with budding talents, hone their research skills and groom them for future LBS careers.
Uzo added, “Since the last YTP, efforts have been made to engage participants and mentor them towards making the right career choices. We are hoping that as more participants graduate from the university, we will find new ones who can take up management roles not only in LBS but also in institutions that partner with us.”
Meanwhile, one of the successful YTP candidates, Jude Adigwe, said the exposure from the institution had greatly prepared him for future challenges.
According to Adigwe, now a research assistant, the talent programme has set the stage for the position he currently occupies in the school.
He added, “I have always wanted to be an academic in an environment where I will be positively challenged; LBS is the right place for me to get started. In the last few months, I have assessed myself and know I have improved academically.”
Another participant, Christian Reuben, said, “I think the YTP is a well-thought-out general introduction to LBS and what to expect as a member of staff.
“Being on the MSA, which has gone impressively well so far, prepares me for my aspiration as a doctoral candidate in the near future.”
In a related development, Uzo has urged unsuccessful applicants in the maiden edition to reapply with the new batch billed for July this year.
He said, “In principle, the application exercise will commence six weeks before the next YTP. Once the process begins, we will announce to the general public.”
