Partnering to build a working continent...


"When a great many people are unable to find work, unemployment results."
                                 -Calvin Coolidge. 

This is the situation in the land today. Even the proliferation of so many Internet job sites and head hunters has not produced the much desired result. Truth is that the jobs are not as much as the number of graduates that are churned out in their thousands on a yearly basis into the already saturated labour market. Something had to be done and EMPLOYER was birthed as a membership styled organization to build our members who are job seekers and intending entrepreneurs into world-class employers of labour and accomplished individuals. It has become necessary for us to have a discourse on how our we can actually partner to build a working African continent while we await the arrival of the treatise on Jobocracy Part II.

EMPLOYER is not primarily a job hunting service but we shall constantly endeavour to connect our members with employers of labour while still offering them all year round skill acquisition and development trainings and seed funds to start their own businesses. EMPLOYER's well equipped job villages will be equally available for any skilled member to simply walk-in and commence work and earn 40% of his/her output. EMPLOYER is a cause to reduce unemployement and by joining, you have done so voluntarily and you have not been coerced or cajoled into this laudable cause. The ideas looked too simple to be true but today with small packets of achievements using pilot projects and individuals who showed a willingness to be established as entrpreneurs,we achieved success and today EMPLOYER  is now set to revolutionize the way we perceive unemployment based on the principles of Jobocracy (see JOBOCRACY PART I - Theories And Applications) in this blog.

 The Luncheon, which will be quarterly is a further indication that the unemployed can actually come together to look at their own problems together, share their experiences, meet with mentors and industry leaders with a view to constantly looking for solutions to our problems. Cynical Critics have derided the gesture and rather than assist with solutions, contributions or suggestions or even their time towards helping, they would rather laugh at any attempt by certain individuals no matter how subtle, to create a better society especially as it regards the problem of unemployment. A problem that has turned individuals who hitherto were interested only in getting jobs and even hustling legally, into criminal entrepreneurs with kidnapping, armed robbery, 419, arson, political thuggery to mention but a few vices as their current main stay. The critic who today is well endowed to do something about this problem and refuses to might just be the next victim of these individuals who are scourging our streets, if we do not get them to direct their minds towards enterprising and commercially viable ventures.

By now and from the growing content on the EMPLOYER url,  you must have understood that there are three categories of membership for-the members (jobseekers, intending entrepreneurs and even those that desire to change jobs), Employers and Advertisers and  no matter which category you belong  to, we are in partnership for one purpose only –to build our members who are job seekers and intending entrepreneurs into world-class employers of labour and accomplished individuals, providing them with seed funds for viable ventures and to get people from our rich database of the unemployed to fill positions in those ventures while continually offering them mentorship and business assistance as they grow their enterprises. Therefore if you are an advertiser or an employer, whatever token, contributions or fees you pay on the platform are directed at providing seed funds for members whose business ideas meet the criteria for sponsorship. 

We implore you to look at areas you excel as an individual or organization and lend your partnership to this cause to help that neighbour, relative or friend who is not doing as well as yourself. The ideas are simple and practicable and it is our utmost belief that if we all put aside our differences and worked together, we shall indeed build a working African continent...starting with our our own immediate communities.
