Our Focus

Improving Economic Possibilities

By fostering innovation, and driving community development, we create pathways for economic growth, increased employment, and improved standards of living.

Under our focus to improve economic possibilities, we recognize the power of strategic partnerships and innovative initiatives in driving sustainable development. Privatization, in this context, plays a crucial role — involving the transfer of activities, assets, and responsibilities from government institutions to private individuals, bodies, or agencies to foster efficiency and growth.

A remarkable example of this is the collaborative effort led by His Royal Majesty Ogiame and Her Royal Highness Olori Atuwatse III during their economic tour to Finland. This tour resulted in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a leading Finnish vocational center.

This international partnership is set to bring transformational change, focusing on the development of education, access to clean water, and the achievement of various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Warri Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Nigeria at large. Through initiatives like this, we aim to empower communities and open up economic opportunities that drive long-term impact.

EU Project on TIVET (Technical, Industrial, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Training)

At Auctus Social Transformation Initiative, we believe that a thriving economy is built on practical skills, innovation, and opportunity. That’s why one of our major efforts under this focus area is the EU Project on TIVET (Technical, Industrial, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Training) — a strategic initiative focused on bridging the gap between education and employability.

This project involves collaborative research with businesses and academic institutions to assess the effectiveness of the current curriculum in promoting practical learning. We aim to answer critical questions like:

• Is the existing educational framework sufficient to teach practical, hands-on skills?

• Are institutions and industries actively providing practical learning opportunities?

• How well is society preparing individuals for real-world skill application and development?

By exploring these issues, we strive to empower individuals with market-relevant skills, foster entrepreneurship, and enhance job readiness by equipping people to thrive in an evolving, skills-driven world.
