FG APPROVES TRAINING OF 50,000 NON-GRADUATE N-POWER
BENEFICIARIES
The Federal Government has approved the engagement of four
of its Agencies to train 50,000 Non-Graduate N-Power Beneficiaries.
At the Federal Executive Council on Wednesday, the National
Institute of Transport Technology NITT, Industrial Training Fund ITF, National
Institute for Hospitality and Tourism, Hydraulic Equipment Development
Institute HEDI were given the nod to train the beneficiaries for 9 months.
In her presentation, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs,
Disaster Management and Social Development Sadiya Umar Farouq said that the
ministry is coordinating the implementation of the National Social Investment
Programme (NSIP) in line with its mandate of alleviating poverty, social
inclusion and youth empowerment.
“This N-Build is under the N-Power cluster of programmes
managed by NSIP and it targets unemployed non-graduates. This proposed training
is a continuation of N-Build training that started in 2017 with every batch of
N-Power trainees.
“The Ministry has reviewed the delivery process of the
N-Build programme for the purposes of ascertaining the relevance of the
programme to the Job Creation/Poverty Reduction agenda of the Federal
Government and noted the capacities of the four existing professional
vocational training Institutes statutorily set up by government with different
mandates. The Institutes were carefully considered and chosen in line with the
objective of the N-Power and based on their capacities to train, assess,
certify and guide candidates towards achieving the National Skills
Qualifications (NSQs) of the N-Build Programme”.
The proposed training programme comprises three (3) months
of in-centre class training, six (6) months for apprenticeship, post
Apprenticeship, mentorship with provision of Starter Packs and assessment
leading to the award of National Board for Technical Education (NBTE)
Certification.
The N-Build apprenticeship programme will be coordinated
across the 36 States and FCT and centres in almost 350 Local Government Areas.
The National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism will
provide professional and technical skills upgrade training programmes for the
beneficiaries in Baking, Cooking/ catering, House- keeping and Mixology as well
as all areas of Hospitality and Tourism directly and indirectly connected to it,
while the Industrial Training Fund ITF will train beneficiaries in Electrical,
Masonry, Plumbing and Carpentry.
Training Services in Automobile and Agritech Tracks will
be handled by the National Institute of Transport Technology NITT while the
Hydraulic Equipment Development Institute HEDI will empower beneficiaries in
welding and Fabrication, Electrical Fittings and Plumbing.
