Who we are
Founded to replace guesswork with guidance.
Career Pathways Initiative was founded by Paul Olatoye, a people and development professional, on the belief that young people deserve more than guesswork when deciding their futures. It is run by a small core team and a growing network of volunteer facilitators, coaches and professionals.
Career Pathways Initiative is an initiative of Career Blueprint Partners Ltd (RC 2148703). Registered address: 20 Samuel Street, Ogudu, Lagos.
Don't leave your career to chance.
Better information can lead to better decisions. Better decisions can create better pathways.
