Early Career Program

....let's get you making strategic career moves like a chess

grandmaster

You KNOW you’ve got skills.

And that in your own way, you are quite the badass and you can dominate the world... if you were just given the chance.

But for some reason, every door you try to open that will lead you to your dream career keeps getting slammed in your face. Let’s face it,

Job Hunting Sucks!

Changing careers feels like a mountain you have to shove into the sea.

The hit on your self-esteem can rock even the most fabulous of people.

They really would be lucky to have you.

But it’s your job to show them why you are the ONE.

And it’s (literally) our calling to lead you to your loftiest career goals.

So… you’re about to thank us for this …

... (Drum rolls please)...

A Badass HR with A Multi-decade insider perspective.

Facilitated by the BossLady herself, Madam Doris, Early Career Program is what will usher you into your dream career. Her superpower is getting people into inaccessible interview rooms and having them secure that check. And she is the Wonder Woman you never knew you needed.

She has over 13 years of experience in learning and development, leadership development, talent acquisition, and employability strategies.
She has the experience and ability to influence, engage, and facilitate discussions across the public and private sector about addressing the challenge of youth unemployment in Africa. This comes from a deep passion and desire to be part of preparing and leading the next generation of African leaders to navigate the future of work.
Her experience to date has allowed her to hone her team management, project implementation, and partnership development skills, with an innovative, results-driven, and entrepreneurial working style.

And now, you can have her as your very own career godmother

In this 3 session program, She will literally hold your hand; from future-casting your dream career to having you secure an interview without having to send in that CV… but we’ll co-create a mind-blowing CV just-in-case.

And there will be a free bonus session after a month… just to check-in and see how you’re doing.

The class is tight, and your learning-mates are your accountability partners. It’s supportive, kind and familial. We’re all in this together, yes?

So, here’s how she’ll be sprinkling that fairy dust over the 3 sessions spread over 2 weeks:

Career Therapy

Session 1:

Sat 23rd Jan

Let's start from the ground up: where are you right now and where exactly are you trying to go? What industry? What job? What company? Let's get to the specifics. Judging from your skills and background experience (if any), what is possible for you right now and what do you need to do to work towards your actual goals? How do you get to make that transition?

We'll co-create an outline for the first draft that aligns with your goals, and the job/ career you've said you want.

Target Practice

Session 2:

30th Jan

Now, let's go through your draft CV together. Does it align with where you want to go? Does it show-case your strongest skills-set and highlight your transferrable skills?

You will bring a list of companies and Job Descriptions you're interested in applying. Now, section by section, let's align your CV with the future you're pursuing. What might you be underestimating or over-estimating? What are we releasing or adding? How do we get it to represent the best parts of who you are and what you bring to the table?

Now, we have the CV, but how do we get through the 'backdoor'?

Informational Interviews.

This is where you get an insider in the company you want to work in to share insider info. We are looking to capture the 70% of opportunities not advertised.

How? We have a template, and it'll be yours.

'Insider trading'

Session 3:

Sat 6th Feb

Your CV is now ready; it is aligned with the position you want in the company you desire.

Now, let's get you ready to ask the right questions that will open the right door.

How do you handle Informational Interviews?

How do you make them want to work with you?

How do you get yourself an 'advocate' from the inside that will help you get opportunities you did not know exist?

This is how you get your foot inside the career of your dreams. And we are making it happen.

All sessions will happen on 3 consecutive Saturdays; 9am-11am. There will be a private ‘members only’ group that will allow you to support and guide one another; the facilitator will be there; showing you the ropes.

Bonus class: After 3 sessions, our Career Godmother will do a quick check-in; who’s still stuck and how do we pull them out? Again, we are all in this together.

As you can tell, we are going personal with you, and that is why we are keeping it small and intimate.

This is for you if: you have 0-2 years experience, are ambitious and badass (even if you don’t feel it sometimes) but you know you can do incredible things and get the best out of your career.

You just need that chance to show what you’re made of.

This is not a good fit for you if: you are non-committal or are okay just as you are. There’s nothing wrong with that, we just need people who believe they are made for more.

Normally, this would cost roughly Ksh. 20,000 per hour (that’s what happens when a boss trains you for other bosses). But because we are delightful people at Village2nation, we have heavily subsidized it for you.

So, for just Ksh. 3,999 you can access the entire 3 sessions (6 hours total) plus the bonus follow-up class. Or, if you’re only keen on individual sessions, you can join in for just Ksh. 1,999 each.

That's a 950% + discount!

Applications are only open for a week. Doors close on the Thursday, 21st January.

Let’s get that job. Yes?
