Introducing Adedoyin Adeyanju, an Alumni of Doceo who participated in 2 programme streams; Doceo webinars and the Aspiring Leaders Programme. We asked Adedoyin how she has found the Doceo programmes, and this is what she had to say:
I first came across Doceo in 2020 during the lockdown amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, and attended their series of virtual webinars. I really enjoyed the webinars I attended, especially those on financial literacy. I was also part of the first cohort of the Aspiring Leaders Programme.
I’ve learned many skills through my involvement with the Doceo community, such as financial literacy and personal branding. However, one of the most prominent skills I acquired and developed was the ability to network. At the time, I had a keen interest in engineering and it was amazing to connect with people like George Imafidon, CEO of Motivez, who I now do ambassadorial work for.
Doceo not only helped me improve my employability skills but it also helped me build a community and network of people whom I’m still in touch with today. I recently came back to Doceo to participate in a panel at a webinar preparing sixth formers on the UCAS personal statement and university route and it was great to see so many young people engaged in bettering their futures. I really appreciate the support I received when I was that stage, so it was an honour to pay it forward in that way.
I genuinely appreciate how much information and resources Doceo provides to students for free. From financial literacy to productivity to well-being, you name it Doceo either has a workshop or resource with amazing information on it.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Doceo to young people as I’ve benefitted greatly from it! It’s a great organisation for students aged 14 – 18, and Doceo provides access to invaluable information that is otherwise not widely available or taught in schools and colleges. Furthermore, there’s something about being a part of a community of like-minded individuals that you may have otherwise met, which can really motivate you to thrive.
Thank you Doceo, for your support
