Are you a Nigerian undergraduate or recent graduate who wants more than the ordinary campus experience? The Future-X Unilever Campus Ambassador (FUCA) programme is your chance to step up — gain leadership training, real work exposure, and a powerful boost for your future career.
What the FUCA Programme Is All About
Unilever Nigeria has partnered with UNICEF Nigeria to launch the Future-X Unilever Campus Ambassador Programme (FUCA). This initiative is designed to engage talented young Nigerians as campus ambassadors, build their skills, and open doors into the business world.
As a FUCA participant you will act as the bridge between Unilever and your university or polytechnic, engage in empowerment activities and help run campus-based projects that develop your leadership and professional experience. The programme is a full-time experience lasting approximately one year or more, depending on the intake.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for FUCA you must meet the following:
- Be a Nigerian undergraduate or recent graduate studying at a recognised university or polytechnic in Nigeria.
- Be aged between 16 and 24 years.
- Demonstrate strong leadership potential, initiative, passion for contributing on campus and in your community.
- Be prepared to commit full-time to the programme for its duration and engage in programme activities, campus activation, and learning modules.
Key Benefits You’ll Gain
