*WOULD YOU LOVE AN INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH OUR TEAM?*

Hi Applicant,

*Our Project Management Course Programme Offers You Leadership Internship Opportunities*

The Management of DEXA, is once again, excited to announce the launch of the Project Management course programme designed to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in today's fast-paced business environment.

As part of this programme, we will be selecting 10 individuals as interns to serve as team leads who will lead different teams to finish the programme and get certified.

And we are looking for applicants who are proactive and motivated to succeed for this internship leadership opportunity.

Qualified INTERNS will receive public recommendation for hiring firms, and double certification, being an additional Certificate of internship and leadership when this batch of the program is completed, to prove to employers that they have successfully led a team and deserve such roles.


To be considered for this leadership opportunity, applicants will need to refer at least 10 individuals to join cohort 5 of this bootcamp.

However, interns with the highest number of referrals will be selected for the opportunity to serve as team leads.

This process is intended to identify those who have the ability to inspire and influence others, and to ensure they can lead a team, which are key qualities of effective leaders and project managers.

In addition, all applicants will be evaluated on their experience, qualifications, and overall suitability for the role of a Team lead [Intern].

To apply, simply refer a minimum of 10 people to enrol for the program and ensure they put in your email address in the "who referred you section" which has just been added to the form.

Ensure your email is spelt correctly to enable the system track all your referrals.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, and selected candidates will be notified of their acceptance into the programme.

We look forward to welcoming you as a TeamLead.

Team DEXA
We've fulfilled our promise to Maureen Emenike ,

The creative packaged garri lady (Garfait).

Our own way of supporting her career and business growth.

Maureen was contacted and affirmed that she wanted to Learn Product Management and we made it come through.

This is also a public announcement to hiring managers who might have internship opportunities for Maureen, to have an eye on her as the course she's about to take is literally one of the best out there.

No jokes.

It is currently being worked on, to be upgraded with lecture materials and video classes and tutorials from Dr. James Green, the Managing Director of Learning and Development for the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute at University of Maryland, College Park.

She's officially a DEXA student now and would be certified in Product Management in a matter of time. She'll make a good hire.

Congratulations Maureen! From all of us at DEXA 🙏🏿😊
