Signup Now for The Skill-Up Artisans (SUPA) Initiative (For Nigerians)

The Skill-Up Artisans (SUPA) program, a dynamic collaboration between Nigeria’s Federal Government and the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), is set to transform the nation’s skilled trades landscape. This bold initiative aims to uplift Nigerian artisans by equipping them with cutting-edge skills, fostering economic growth, and promoting global competitiveness.

Global employment trends are shifting, with technology reshaping industries and increasing the demand for skilled professionals. In Nigeria, a historical focus on white-collar jobs has led to a shortage of qualified artisans. SUPA addresses this gap by offering comprehensive training, certification, and resources, empowering artisans to drive economic progress and build thriving small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Key Objectives of SUPA

The SUPA program is designed to deliver measurable impact through the following goals:

• Nationwide Artisan Database: Identify, register, and categorize artisans across Nigeria to create a centralized hub of skilled professionals.
• Industry 4.0 Training: Deliver certified training programs aligned with global standards, incorporating health and safety practices across various trades.
• Resource Accessibility: Provide artisans with tools, equipment, and financial support to grow their businesses.
• Standardization and Certification: Ensure artisans operate with standardized methods, promoting professionalism and quality.
• Global and Local Opportunities: Expand employment prospects for artisans in both domestic and international markets.
• Women’s Empowerment: Encourage women’s participation and entrepreneurship in the skilled trades.

Who Can Apply?

The SUPA program is open to Nigerian citizens eager to acquire or enhance trade skills. Applicants must commit to fully participating in the training program. No prior experience is required—just a willingness to learn and grow.
