Bic Farms has announced the opening of applications for its Graduate Agripreneurship Apprentice Program, known as GAAP 12+, a six-month training initiative aimed at building practical skills for young graduates in agriculture.
The programme is designed to equip participants with hands-on experience across modern farming systems while solving Africa’s agribusiness problems through skills development and innovation. The apprenticeship will cover hydroponics and soilless farming, greenhouse setup and management, orchard and tree crops, herbs and spices production, as well as agro-processing and packaging.
Participants will receive practical training in hydroponics and soilless farming, greenhouse operations, orchard and tree crop management, herbs and spices cultivation, and agro-processing and packaging. The training is structured to combine field work with guided learning across different agribusiness segments.
The programme offers real farm exposure, and provides an opportunity to start your own business alongside employment prospects, while supporting graduates to transition into agribusiness careers after completion successfully.
Selected participants will benefit from free accommodation, a monthly stipend, employment opportunities, and support to start their own agribusiness after completing the programme. The initiative is part of its effort to develop a new generation of skilled agripreneurs.
Eligibility for GAAP 12+ is limited to male applicants who graduated not more than five years ago and have completed the National Youth Service Corps. Applicants must also be medically fit and physically capable of regular lifting, bending, and handling items weighing over 10kg.
The application deadline has been fixed for Friday, February 6, 2026, while successful applicants are expected to resume on February 15.
