Lagos, NigeriaLocal young adults and interns
Local manufacturing depends on people who can test, recover and assemble components safely. Quadloop’s workforce approach starts close to its Lagos operations.
Background
Hardware and renewable-energy manufacturing require practical skills that are not always readily available.
The challenge
Early-stage circular manufacturers need to build capability while working within limited hiring and training resources.
Quadloop’s approach
Quadloop recruited secondary-school leavers and young adults living near its warehouse, then trained them from the ground up.
Delivery
APRI reported six full-time staff and two interns at the time of its profile.
Outcome
Trainees gained practical experience and progressed to handling tasks with greater independence.
