Who we are
Our History
In January 2019, BYA’s activities kick started in Nigeria with its partnership program with secondary schools, to help teenagers discover their purpose, realize their potentials, and grow to become a best version of themselves. That same year the maiden edition of BYA’s Annual Bold Step Conference, with the theme “Be Inspired”, took place in Ibadan and Abuja, Nigeria.
It was geared towards inspiring and empowering young people (students, graduates, career professionals and entrepreneurs) to make bold decisions to commit to providing positive solutions and influencing positive change in their environment, industry and the global space.
Our Mandate
Becoming YOU Academy’s mandate has since then evolved into a global and national transformation agenda.
We believe that the economy of a nation is highly dependent on the contribution of different sectors of the economy and that the success of each sector of an economy is also largely determined by the quality, as well as the quantity, of its human capital.
Mission
To drive economic growth across nations of the world through quality and sustainable human capital development.
Vision
To help increase the economic value of individuals, businesses, and organizations in any nation through purpose-driven coaching and education.
