The Nigerian government has announced the Skillup SUPA Training Program in collaboration with the Industrial Training Fund for 2024.
The Program aims to empower, train, and license young artisans through tech-enabled skills to promote industry standard excellence.
This programme, which is known as the Skill-UP Artisans (SUPA), will impact on 10 million artisans over a 2 year period. The programme is a joint initiative of the Federal Government and the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and will be coordinated by the later.
SUPA is in line with global employment trends, which have shifted as a result of the way technology has changed the face of many industries. The preference for white-collar jobs has resulted in a scarcity of qualified Nigerian artisans. SUPA seeks to reverse this trend.
SUPA is a comprehensive initiative aimed at aiding quality service delivery through the certification and licensing of artisans to promote the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises.
