ZAPT is also in talks with UK universities and youth-focused organisations to support career development in sales, tech, and entrepreneurship.

The initiative is designed to equip students and young adults with real-world business experience. "We're not just powering phones," adds Oladimeji, who oversees strategic partnerships. "We're empowering the next generation."
