Caladium Launches Strategy Academy To Bridge Skills Gap

Caladium Consulting, a leading strategy firm, has launched the Caladium Strategy Skills Academy: a structured, hands-on business training program designed to help aspiring early-career professionals and experienced professionals seeking a career in or switching to business strategy.

According to Ayo Bankole Akintujoye, the Lead Strategist/CEO of Caladium Consulting, the newly launched Strategy Skills Academy is set to train 1,000 fresh graduates to help bridge the knowledge gap and equip them with the most needed strategy skills to prepare them for a career in business strategy.

He stated that the two-week intensive training program will consist of expert-led sessions by Caladium Consulting facilitators, case studies, and interactive projects. Participants will walk away with practical skills that set them apart in Nigeria’s highly competitive job market.

Akintujoye described the Caladium Strategy Skills Academy as a launchpad for future business leaders. He revealed that participants will be exposed to the world of strategy consulting and gain real-world, hands-on experience in Research and Data Analysis, Business Planning and market Studies, Strategy Frameworks and execution, PowerPoint and business Presentations, and Process Documentation and mapping.

“Our goal is simple: to build a strong pipeline of young professionals and career-switchers who can analyse business problems, develop strategic solutions, and confidently compete globally. Nigeria has the talent; what’s missing is structured, hands-on learning. That’s exactly what we are providing them with this Academy and we are doing this for free because if we are to put a fee to it, it would be out of reach of the average Nigerian fresh graduate. However, the application requirements will be very steep in ensuring seriousness and quality. We want to build a pipeline of our Academy graduates that brands can trust,’’ he said.
