The problem

Talent Is Everywhere But Opportunity Is Not.

Many talented Nigerian students have the ability and ambition to succeed, but lack visibility, access, industry connections and structure. At the same time, recruiters struggle to identity promising emerging talent early enough and Compass exists to bridge that gap.
