Empowering Nigerian Youths with Practical Skills and Competencies
The National Skills (N-SKILLS) programme is a flagship initiative of the National Vocational Training Foundation, co-funded by the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The National Vocational Training Foundation serves as the implementation partner, overseeing the programme’s execution.
As a talent incubator, the N-SKILLS programme aims to enhance the employability of Nigerians by providing vocational training across various skills, conveniently accessible at their doorstep. The programme offers a comprehensive 12-month paid stipend during training, as well as during industrial training in private and public sector institutions nationwide.
The N-SKILLS programme is designed as a scalable model to facilitate a transformative and impactful transition for Nigerians, empowering them to move from poverty and unemployment to learning and earning opportunities. This paradigm shift is expected to significantly improve their lives, while yielding positive economic results. By bridging the skills gap and fostering employability, the N-SKILLS programme contributes to the country’s socio-economic development.
NVTF also partners with state governments to establish vocational training centers, factories, and workshops to enhance economic growth and provide hands-on experience to trainees.
