She maintained that the portal was a platform for Corps members who are about exiting the Scheme to upload their handwritten and video Curriculum vitae for easy access by prospective employers .
While encouraging Corps members to continue with their chosen skills at their various places of primary assignments, Ada Imoni said that the hands-on training they got on camp was not conclusive but rather meant to arouse their interest to enlist for further intensive training in any Skill of their choice after the Orientation Camp.
