The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) has urged artisans, industrialists, and technicians across Nigeria to take advantage of its training programmes, including the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), to strengthen workforce.
The Fund said its focus is on building Nigeria’s human capital and positioning the economy among the most competitive globally. According to ITF, “our commitment is unwavering: to develop Nigeria’s human capital and position the nation’s economy among the most competitive in the world.”
ITF stated that Nigeria can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best through investment in skills development. It explained that the agency exists to build a skilled and globally competitive workforce.
The Fund encouraged industrialists, artisans, and technicians to engage with its Area Offices nationwide and benefit from training programmes. It said SIWES “effectively bridges the gap between academic learning and industry requirements.”
ITF also highlighted the Skill-Up Artisans (SUPA) Programme, an initiative of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, under the Renewed Hope Agenda. The Fund said the programme upgrades artisans and technicians to meet international standards, adding that “enhanced skills translate to higher productivity, and higher productivity is the catalyst for sustainable economic growth.”
ITF stressed, “This is our mandate. This is our commitment. And this is the future we are building for Nigeria.”
