The Nysc Skills Acquisition & Entrepreneurship Department was birthed as a result of the giant step our government took in 2012 in an attempt to reverse the crippling hands of unemployment in Nigeria by introducing the Skill and Entrepreneurship Acquisition (SAED) program in the NYSC.
However, the core aim of this idea was supposed to build the concept of entrepreneurship in the youth and thus build their skills and business sense.
Since its introduction, the SAED program has left an immense impact in the lives of some corp members. There are experiences of corp members who started a living with this, others who do not have to spend money on buying certain products but can now produce them on their own, and have helped to save some expenses in their family budget since they can produce these things at home. Many have learned a lot of valuable skills that remain with them forever.
There are different categories of these skills offered in this SAED program. You can do well to consider them in the list below.
NYSC SAED: Agro-allied
This section of the SAED program partners with organizations involved in large-scale production, processing, and packaging of food using modern equipment and methods. They are usually involved in education and training interested corp members in the skills in processing and packaging of food.
It can really be an invaluable skill to acquire with the recent trend toward food processing and packaging.

In the section of automobile, organizations such as driving schools can be contacted within the state to help corp members learn the skills of driving. A lot of corp members find themselves interested in this section which I feel it is very useful for every graduate to learn.
