Employers across Nigeria are invited to participate in the upcoming Career Fair 2026, an employment-focused recruitment event designed to connect organisations with a strong pool of trained and qualified job seekers in Lagos State.
The initiative is being organised under the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF) Employability Support Project in partnership with the German Cooperation and GIZ, with support from international development partners committed to strengthening workforce development and employment opportunities in Nigeria.
The career fair offers employers a strategic platform to meet and recruit from over 500 trained candidates who are ready to contribute meaningfully across different sectors of the economy.
About the Career Fair
The LSETF Career Fair 2026 is aimed at bridging the gap between employers and job-ready talent by creating direct access to skilled candidates in one location.
Participating organisations will have the opportunity to:
- Access a diverse pool of qualified and trained candidates
- Conduct on-the-spot interviews during the event
- Promote their company brand to a targeted audience
- Showcase available vacancies and career opportunities
- Build direct connections with programme sponsors and workforce partners
This fair is particularly valuable for companies seeking efficient recruitment channels while improving visibility among emerging professionals in Lagos.
Who Should Apply as Employers?
The organisers are inviting expressions of interest from:
- Companies recruiting for full-time roles
- Organisations offering part-time opportunities
- Employers with internship openings
- HR teams and recruitment agencies
- Start-ups expanding their workforce
- Institutions focused on talent development and youth employment
Whether large corporations or growing small businesses, all employers seeking competent talent are encouraged to participate.
Why This Matters for Nigerian Employers
With unemployment and underemployment still major concerns in Nigeria, structured recruitment events such as this create a win-win opportunity for both employers and job seekers.
For employers, the fair reduces hiring stress by bringing pre-trained candidates directly to recruiters. For candidates, it creates a rare chance to engage directly with hiring organisations without lengthy delays in recruitment processes.
In a competitive labour market, access to screened and prepared talent can significantly improve recruitment outcomes.
