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.
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
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.
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.

80% or higher for accepted fellows.
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.
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.
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.
