| Role | Scope | Rate Range | Per Cohort Earning | Payment Timing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lead Instructor (1 module) | 1–2 sessions × 2 hrs each | ₦80,000 – ₦150,000/session | ₦80k – ₦300k | Within 5 working days of session |

All fees are paid by bank transfer to the instructor's registered account. Before any commitment is finalised:
1. TF issues a formal Letter of Engagement (scope, dates, agreed fee)
2. Instructor confirms via signed letter or email acceptance
3. Bank details collected securely via TF Operations
4. Payment released within 5 working days of session delivery
5. Payment receipt and confirmation sent by email
Mentors are paid on the 1st of each internship month (months 4, 5, 6).
Rates are agreed privately. No published rate card. This protects flexibility and treats each instructor as an individual, not a line item.
| # | Responsibility | Details | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Attend onboarding call | 30-minute call with TF team — understand cohort profile, curriculum position, and session expectations | 2 weeks before session |
| 2 | Prepare session content | Develop slides, exercises, and case studies aligned to TF curriculum brief. 70% practical, 30% conceptual. Real Nigerian examples required. | 1 week before session |
| 3 | Upload materials | Final slides, handouts, templates, and resource links submitted to TF shared Google Drive folder | 48 hours before session |
| 4 | Deliver 2-hour session | Via Zoom (virtual sessions) or at Lagos venue (physical class months). Engage with Q&A, case studies, real examples. | On scheduled date |
| 5 | Host Q&A (30 min) | Final 30 minutes reserved for student questions. This is one of the highest-rated parts of each session — do not skip it. | Final 30 min of session |
| 6 | Sign off recording | Sessions recorded for student replay. Instructor notified when recording is uploaded — may review before it goes live to cohort. | 24–48 hrs after session |
| 7 | 14-day cancellation notice | If session cannot be delivered, notify TF Operations at least 14 calendar days in advance to allow rescheduling without disrupting the cohort | If cancellation needed |
All tutors are invited to continue as internship mentors. Mentoring is optional but strongly preferred — it creates deeper student outcomes and is separately compensated monthly. Each mentor is assigned 2–4 interns from the cohort.
| # | Responsibility | Details | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Weekly 30-minute check-in | Virtual 1-on-1 or small group with assigned interns. Discuss internship experience, challenges, wins. Provide career guidance and workplace navigation support. | Every week (12 sessions) |
| 2 | Availability between sessions | Accessible via WhatsApp or email for urgent workplace questions. Target response: within 24–48 hours. Emergencies: same day where possible. | Ongoing |
| 3 | Mid-internship progress review | Submit a structured 1-page progress assessment per mentee — strengths, areas for growth, any concerns. Submitted to TF team only, not host company. | Month 5 (Week 8) |
| 4 | Final internship evaluation | Complete a structured performance evaluation form for each mentee at end of Month 6. Results inform the internship certificate and TF alumni records. | End of Month 6 |
| 5 | Host company liaison (if needed) | If a mentee is struggling at their host company, the mentor supports resolution — facilitating a conversation with TF coordination. Not a frequent responsibility, but critical when needed. | As required |
| 6 | Graduation attendance (optional) | Mentors are warmly invited to the Cohort graduation ceremony. Not mandatory, but deeply meaningful to students who have been supported throughout. | End of Cohort |
We're building Nigeria's First HR Academy — and we need the country's finest HR practitioners to teach it. We believe you're one of them.
Explore the Faculty Role →My name is Felix Bissong. I'm the Founder and CEO of Talent Factory — Nigeria's First Cohort-Based HR Academy — built under the umbrella of The GenZ HR Consult.
I'm writing to you personally because of what you've built in the Nigerian HR profession. The teams you've led, the systems you've built, and the expertise you've accumulated is exactly what the next generation of HR professionals in this country needs — and doesn't have access to.
I'd like to invite you to join our founding faculty for Cohort 1.
Talent Factory is Nigeria's first cohort-based HR Academy — a 6-month hybrid program combining live expert-led training with guaranteed internship placement. Here's how it works:
| Element | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Time commitment | 1–2 sessions of 2 hours each per cohort (teaching). Optional: 30-minute weekly mentor check-ins × 12 weeks during internship phase. |
| Delivery format | Online via Zoom for most sessions. One session per month is physical at our Lagos venue (travel premium applies). You choose your preference. |
| What you teach | We match you to the module you know best. We send you a curriculum brief and a session framework — you bring the expertise and the real-world stories. |
| What you earn | A competitive session fee agreed before any commitment — paid within 5 working days of session delivery. Mentoring is separately compensated monthly. No "exposure" arrangements, ever. |
| Your profile | A public instructor profile on the Talent Factory platform — visible to our growing community of HR professionals, companies, and students across Nigeria. |
We are finalising Cohort 1 faculty now. The people in this first group will be remembered by every student who goes through the program — and every HR professional they impact. We want the best people in this role, and we believe you are one of them.
Reply to Express Interest →Beyond this email, we're making personal visits to potential faculty members — bringing a small gift that captures what we're building. If you'd welcome a brief in-person conversation, let us know when works for you and we'll come to you.
To express interest, reply to this email or call +234 816 854 5860 directly. We'll schedule a 20-minute call — you'll hear the full picture, decide if it's right for you, and we'll agree a fee before you commit to anything.

When Felix and the team visit potential faculty members, they bring a beautifully packaged gift box that communicates Talent Factory's brand, ambition, and respect for the recipient — before a word is spoken. The box should feel premium, deliberate, and make the recipient feel genuinely seen. It tells a story before it's even opened.
The box message: "You've built something remarkable. We're building something important. We want you to be part of it."
📦 Box Assembly Order (bottom to top)
Layer 1: Black tissue paper base
Layer 2: Jotter (bottom-left) + pen laid diagonally across it
Layer 3: Mug (centre, wrapped in gold tissue)
Layer 4: Program booklet (right side, standing upright)
Layer 5: Wristband (coiled in top-right corner)

Layer 8: Final black tissue fold over everything

It deserves live classes, a real mentor, an actual guaranteed internship, and two certificates that mean something. It deserves Talent Factory.
