Marketlyhub, a dynamic startup, is on a mission to empower 3000 talents comprising migrants and ethnic minorities through innovative career coaching, and mentoring support.
Founded by Edward Enejoh, a passionate entrepreneur with a diverse background in product marketing and digital project management, Marketlyhub is transforming the career for individuals striving to integrate into the UK job market.
Edward Enejoh is a Nigerian and UK-based tech career advisor and project manager. With an MBA from Nexford University in Washington, D.C., and a degree in Physics from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, his journey into entrepreneurship began during his university days.
Over the past decade, he has helped multiple businesses and individuals achieve measurable success through strategic product marketing and digital project management.
Edward’s entrepreneurial spirit was ignited in 2006, while he was an undergraduate studying physics. Driven by a love for creative design, he taught himself to design, code, and build websites, starting with yearbook albums for final-year students, a venture that sparked his passion for solving real-world problems.
This venture allowed him to create valued products. His skills evolved, enabling him to assist businesses in building websites and running digital marketing campaigns.
By 2013, he worked as a business analyst and project manager for a leading African management consulting firm, we went on to deliver successful project outcomes for private companies, governments, and international organizations. In 2020, he fully transitioned to managing digital projects before moving to the UK in late 2022.
MarketlyHub was born from Edward’s observation of the challenges talented individuals from diverse backgrounds face in integrating into the UK job market. He found that many possess skills and qualifications from their home countries but struggle to adapt them locally.
MarketlyHub aims to bridge this gap by providing career support and through their EdTech solution to support the community. Edward’s vision was to create a platform that offers tailored services to help these individuals thrive.
Edward received a scholarship grant from Afrigrowth Foundation in 2012, where he gained valuable digital and project management skills. These skills paved the way for his corporate career and inspired him to create MarketlyHub, a platform that offers support and mentoring on a larger scale.
Marketlyhub is on a mission to equip and upskill 3,000 individuals with in-demand tech skills by 2027, helping them to succeed in their new environments. Through career coaching, mentoring, and tailored training workshops, Marketlyhub focuses on the specific needs of migrants and ethnic minorities.
What truly sets MarketlyHub apart is its personalized approach, addressing challenges like cultural differences and limited local experience.
Through collaboration with local organisations, graduates from their programme are paired with local businesses where they work and deploy their skills to help the local businesses while gaining hands-on experiences.
With plans to expand across the UK, Marketlyhub aims to become a leading resource for migrant integration. In their recent cohort, they awarded scholarships to 8 participants; the total training value is worth over £10,000 covering professional coaching and mentoring services delivered through their learning management system.
Beneficiaries of the programme have recorded success in landing jobs as project managers working for organisations in the UK.
By creating an inclusive environment for learning and career development, MarketlyHub is creating a diverse and vibrant community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Edward advises aspiring entrepreneurs to stay focused on their mission, listen to users or customers, adapt to changes, and build strong networks.
He stays motivated by seeing the positive impact on people’s lives and continuously striving to improve the value offered to the community.
