A certificate says what a student studied. This says what they did.
NWIEP places students into real work, then records what happened — hour by hour, confirmed by the person who supervised them. The result is a record an employer can trust and an institution can produce at an accreditation visit.
The problem is not effort. It is evidence.
Students
Weeks are lost writing letters to organisations that never reply. Those who do find a placement leave with a stamped logbook and little else to show.
Institutions
Placement lists compiled by hand. Paper logbooks of uneven quality. Evidence assembled in a rush when the accreditation visit is announced.
Employers
Students arrive unprepared and unbriefed, the administrative burden falls on the supervisor, and there is no useful record at the end for either side.
What we do
- Work-integrated learningWe connect students in colleges and universities to genuine workplace experience, and record it in a form employers and regulators can verify. The platform is built to run on two tracks: fully digital where connectivity allows, and offline-first using USSD and SMS where it does not.
- School leadership developmentThe eleven-week World-Class School Leader Programme, the free School Health Check, and the annual World-Class Education Summit — equipping proprietors and heads to build schools that outlast them.
- Educational publishingBooks and workbooks on school leadership and education practice, distributed through bookstores and education retailers across Nigeria, Africa and internationally.
- School setup and growth consultancyFeasibility studies, operating plans, governance frameworks and ongoing advisory support, built on school-building work in West Africa and the UK since 1996.
If you were unable to work for three months, would your school carry on?
Most proprietors know the answer. The School Health Check asks fifty-five questions across eleven areas and takes about an hour. You finish with a score out of 220 and the three things to fix this term.
Free. No cost, no obligation, no account required.
