ABOUT FOLA OGUNSOLA FOUNDATION
WHO WE ARE
Fola Ogunsola Foundation is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization.
The setting up of the foundation was borne out of genuine concern for the need to ameliorate the challenges confronting these categories of people; graduating students of higher institutions, unemployed graduates and indigent students. To effectively reach out to all those we wish to cater for, we have divided our activities into these categories. – Life After Campus-Education – Graduates Employment – Finishing School – Internship – Indigents.
Today, those who care about what is happening around them would have realized the moral decay, educational challenges, lack of support for the less privileged. The unpreparedness of university graduates for life after school has become a nightmare for many employers of labour today. Businesses are failing everyday and it is hopeless looking up to government for succor. These are not just issues, but have become a problem that has taken space in many discussion fora. Many people are just content to talk about it. But very few people are willing to do something about it. Among these few is Fola Ogunsola, founder and promoter of Fola Ogunsola Foundation. She had the vision to affect this category of people and in her own little way.
At Fola Ogunsola Foundation, we have the Nigerian student at heart. In the face of the ever increasing employment challenges facing the country, we have arranged tailored programs to prepare our students right from school to securing a suitable employment. These programs include:

Life After Campus (LAC)
Fola Ogunsola Foundation kick started what has now become an annual programme for graduates. It is known as the Life after campus project. This project was inspired by the need to give back to the society through mentorship and career coaching in the area of attitude and employability empowerment.

Finishing School
Our vision is to see that the graduates are not only employable but are employed. Thus, we don’t stop at just talking to them but also providing useful training required to earn a place in the labour market.

Adopt an Indigent Student
This initiative is based on the principle of love and conscience. We understand that many students are unable to afford the basic requirements of the University education due to financial constraint. From our study, we observed that some students were homeless, and had to beg to survive in the school.

Graduate Caoching and Counselling
After the Life After Campus Seminar programme, we assist the students in getting a life mentor who they look up to as a role model. This can be a leader in the society or someone with reputable track record of success.
