Requirements
OCTOBER , 2023
Our vision of training and placing 3M technical talents relies on proficient training providers who will accelerate
this transformative journey. During this first phase, our goal is to train and place 30,000 technical talents within
a 3-month period across all 36 states and FCT of Nigeria.
We will take an iterative approach, testing different elements of the 3MTT framework with all stakeholders. By
learning from this phase, we can apply those learnings to the next pilot phase, which will train and place
270,000 technical talents. The insights gained from the pilot phase will ensure that the final scaling phase,
targeting 2,700,000 technical talents, will utilize the most effective training approaches and placement models.
Your Role as a Training Provider
As a pivotal player in this phase, you'll play a key part in training and placing 30,000 technical talents across
Nigeria, over the next three months, to thrive in the global digital arena.
Skills in Focus
The initial phase focuses on 12 essential technical skills, carefully selected to align with current market needs.
These skills were identified through input from local and global employers, job boards, and a comprehensive IT
Talent Gap Analysis conducted by NITDA in 2023.
As we progress beyond the prototype phase, we will incorporate additional skills into the program, prioritizing
those that are in high demand. These skills will be crucial for enhancing the competitiveness of our local digital
economy and positioning Nigeria as a leading exporter of technical talent

A Fellowship Model
In partnership with NITDA, we have established a fellowship model for this first phase. The program will be
expanded through funding from additional partners and internal resources. In this initial phase, the fellowship
will cover only the training expenses for the fellows.
A Call for Training Providers
We are seeking training providers with expertise in training any of the aforementioned skills. Providers are not
limited to one skill and can train in multiple areas. The selection process will be conducted by an independent
review committee, who will evaluate the providers based on the criteria outlined below.
In order to reach our ambitious goal of developing 3 million technical talents within the next three years, we
anticipate collaborating with a substantial number of training providers. Therefore, as we progress through
various phases and expand our focus on different skills, we will continuously onboard new providers.

Training Model Requirements
Curriculum & Training methods

The training provider will be required to provide
comprehensive curriculum for each skill, including
the pedagogical strategies that are used to train
talents.
Training experience evidence

Providers must provide verifiable proof of past
training in the specified skills.
Faculty & Facilities

Providers will be required to demonstrate that
their faculty has the necessary expertise and
experience to train the specified skills. We will also
assess the facilities, platforms, and resources

80% or higher for accepted fellows.

Placements Model Requirements
A clear placement strategy

Providers must have a defined strategy for placing trained talents.
Evidence of Relationships and Track Record in Placing Talent

Providers must be able to provide verifiable evidence of their relationships for placing talent, as well as
their track record in doing so for previous cohorts. It is a requirement for providers to successfully place at
least 50% of the fellows in jobs that correspond to the standard economic level for their skill level within 3
months of completing the program.
Placement Monitoring System

The key to a successful placement model goes beyond just securing the first job for fellows. It also
involves ensuring their ongoing growth and progress. To accurately evaluate the impact of the training on
these individuals, it is essential for providers to have a system that periodically tracks the development of
the fellows alongside their employers.
M&E Model Requirements
In-program Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System

Providers must have an operational M&E system to track talent progress during training programs. The
data reporting element of this process should be highly automated.
End of training M&E system

Providers must have a functioning M&E system to evaluate the technical talents' progress at the end of the
program compared to the skill development benchmarks established at the start of the program.
Post-program M&E system

Providers will be required to have an operational M&E system for tracking progress of the talents
post-graduation and during their first year in jobs.

Selection Criteria
Training providers who apply will be evaluated based on the requirements stated above. As this is a continuous
process, providers who do not have all the requirements today can build the required track record and apply to
join the initiative during the next cycle.
There will be a periodic evaluation of training providers accepted into the initiative based on feedback/ratings
from the fellows as well as employers that recruit the fellows that graduate from the programme. To stay in the
programme, providers will be required to consistently maintain the defined standards.
Expertise and Experience

Proven ability in delivering training in specified technical skills, backed by verifiable evidence of successful past
training programs and experienced faculty.
Curriculum and Training Methodology

Comprehensive curriculum for each identified skill, multi-modal delivery methods, and clear skill development
benchmarks for proficiency level in each identified skills
Inclusivity and Engagement

Commitment to inclusivity for all genders, persons with disabilities, and other minority groups, alongside cohort
engagement and peer learning mechanisms to ensure a 90%+ program completion rate.
Placement Strategy
Effective strategy for placing trained talents post-program, with verifiable evidence of relationships for
placement, and a system for tracking talent growth and job progression.
Monitoring and Evaluation Systems:

Operational in-program, end-of-training, and post-program M&E systems for tracking, assessing, and
evaluating talent progress and program impact.
Capacity to operate in the chosen state or regions.
Timelines
We will operate a rolling call for providers beginning October 13th. As the initiative progresses
through multiple phases, we will continuously accept applications from providers and onboard
them into the programme.
