Impact stories · Ogun
Talent connected to opportunity.
Across Ogun State, TAFTA combines community mobilisation, supported learning and industry partnerships to help young creatives learn, practise and progress.
The state story
Skills, access and opportunity—closer to home.
TAFTA’s Ogun programme has reached learners across Abeokuta and communities further afield, using partnerships with public institutions, schools, youth organisations and disability groups to make training more accessible.
The result is a pathway that goes beyond course completion: learners collaborate on productions, explore entrepreneurship and connect with internships and employment opportunities.
