The Managing Director of Africell Sierra Leone Limited (Africell SL Ltd), Shadi Gerjawi, has described the National Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Fair (NYEEF) as a bridge between employers and employees in the country.
Shadi Gerjawi made this statement on Monday 13 November 2023 during an interview with the media at the ongoing National Youth and Entrepreneurship Fair (NYEEF) held at the Bintumani International Conference Center, West of Freetown.
“At the end of this fair, potential employees need the space to interact with employers, and know what they are yearning to show their talents and skills, they also have the opportunity to drop their CVs and have direct contact which they may not be having on another base,’’ he said.
He added that this was the second time Africell-SL- SL was participating in NYEEF, stating that last year they were the leading sponsor as a telecommunications company thus showing their commitment to job creation, youth empowerment, and sustainability in the country.
“This year Africell as a company is very proud to be part of this year’s National Youth and Entrepreneurship Fair. Africell as a company comes up with initiatives on how to help young people to achieve education and more knowledge through our programmes like what we are doing in our E-learning center,” Shadi Gerjawi said.
“Over the past years we have done so many programmes, where different people applied and were awarded certificates in the programmes that we were running at that time,” the Africell MD revealed.
The Africell MD added further that at the Africell-SL booth job seekers and prospective applicants would have the opportunity to drop their CVs physically or scan the box of the Q-R code and apply directly, boasting that they were the largest employers in the telecommunications industry with about 1,000 direct staff apart from contractors and sub-contractors.
