The National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP) is inviting applications from interested and eligible Nigerians looking to launch their careers or acquire vocational skills that can open doors in various industries. This initiative is tailored for individuals seeking entry-level roles in the corporate sector, skilled trades, or entrepreneurship.
As part of its 2025 initiative, NAPEP has opened its Vocational Trades Portal to train Nigerian youth in a wide range of practical skills. The programme aims to empower beneficiaries through vocational training, internship grants, microcredit support, and job creation in key sectors such as automobile repair, ICT, tailoring, and small-scale manufacturing.
NAPEP is committed to the holistic transformation of society by prioritizing human capital development. Its goal is to significantly improve the material, cultural, social, and political well-being of Nigerians—across both rural and urban communities. By equipping participants with relevant skills and economic tools, the programme seeks to help them overcome current challenges and pursue higher social and economic aspirations.
