CAMANDA Academy is pleased to announce a strategic partnership between CAMANDA GradSkill and Techavac, a collaboration focused on equipping NYSC Corps members and fresh graduates with practical, in-demand skills needed to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving tech and digital economy.
This partnership represents a shared commitment to solving one of Africa’s most pressing challenges: the gap between education and employability. While thousands of graduates leave school every year with certificates, many lack the hands-on experience, confidence, and exposure employers require. Through GradSkill, CAMANDA Academy and Techavac are taking intentional steps to change that narrative.
The Employability Challenge Facing Graduates Today
Across Nigeria and Africa, graduate unemployment remains a critical concern. The issue is not always a lack of intelligence or ambition, it is often a lack of practical, job-ready skills.
Employers today are looking for candidates who can:
- Work with real tools and systems
- Solve problems independently
- Demonstrate applied knowledge, not just theory
- Show evidence of experience through projects and portfolios
Unfortunately, traditional education pathways rarely provide these outcomes. This is the gap GradSkill was created to bridge.
The partnership with Techavac strengthens this mission by bringing together expertise, resources, and a shared vision for building a stronger, more prepared workforce.

Why the CAMANDA GradSkill × Techavac Partnership Matters
This partnership goes beyond branding or announcements. It is designed to deliver real value to learners and measurable outcomes for the ecosystem.
As part of this partnership, Techavac will deliver the GradSkill Foundational Tech Programme, a free 3-week foundation course available to all registered GradSkill applicants.

During the 3-week Foundation Programme, learners will:
- Build core digital and tech literacy

By partnering with Techavac for this phase, CAMANDA GradSkill ensures that all learners begin their journey with a standardized, high-quality foundation, improving readiness, engagement, and overall outcomes.
