Thomas Adewumi University (TAU) is very pleased to announce a new partnership with Saylor Academy, based in the United States, to provide flexible and on-demand learning opportunities for TAU students. Saylor Academy courses will help build “soft skills” that are critical for the workforce of the future. As part of TAU’s mission to support student success throughout their careers, students will be able to earn Skill Development certificates from Saylor Academy’s free online professional development courses.
Impact of the TAU/Saylor Academy Partnership
Thomas Adewumi University and Saylor Academy both recognize that students, such as TAU students, will need lifelong learning opportunities to adapt to rapidly changing economies. The Saylor Academy/Thomas Adewumi University partnership provides key skills needed to start or boost a career, and complements TAU’s already excellent degree programs.
Quote from Saylor Academy
“Saylor Academy is honored to start this initiative with Thomas Adewumi University,” says Jeff Davidson, Saylor Academy’s Executive Director. “This collaboration, which is our first in the nation of Nigeria, is innovative by incorporating digital skill development into TAU’s existing degree programs. The results will be even more well-rounded students ready for the future of work.”
About Thomas Adewumi University
The ethos of Thomas Adewumi University is excellence and the institution aims to become a major key player in the delivery of university education of the highest quality in Nigeria, as well as to produce graduates that would benefit themselves and be the human capital for the rapid and much needed socio-economic development of the country. The attainment of this goal is a major challenge and a serious commitment, which the University expects to achieve through careful planning and adequate deployment of human and material resources.
