TSDP PARTNERS - ITF & NECA
The project which started in 2009 and now in its 9th year was designed on the premise of a short term-quick-fix intervention measure to address the twin problems of recurring dearth of middle level technical manpower for the industries and unprecedented rise in youth employment.
The foregoing, therefore, informed its choice of “brown fields” institutions for the skill acquisition programmes. NECA member-companies made available their technical training schools, while ITF complemented these private sector schools with its own Industrial Skills Training Centres.
The training institutions currently provide empowerment in the following skill areas:
All the training centres, “brown fields” and public school alike, are being supported with the ILO certified entrepreneurship empowerment programme using the Generate Your Business Idea (GYBI) and Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) Modules.
Industrial Training Fund is an agency of the Federal Government of Nigeria mandated by the Industrial Training Fund (Fund) ACT as amendment (2011) among other functions to:
o provide, promote and encourage the acquisition of skills in industry and commerce with a view to generating a pool of indigenous trained manpower sufficient to meet the needs of private and public sectors of the economy.
o provide training for skills in management of technical and entrepreneurial development in the public and private sectors of the economy.
o set training standard in all sectors of the economy and monitor adherence.
o evaluate and certify vocational skills acquired by apprentices, craftsmen and technicians in collaboration with relevant organizations
The Fund has an expansive network of Thirty Seven (37) Area Offices and Five (5) Industrial Skills Training Centres (ISTCs) spread over Nigeria with professional trainers equipped with expertise and experience in varied areas of profession.
The service offering of the Fund include the following:
· Engineering and Technical
· Information and Communication Technology
· Banking and Finance
· Health , Safety and Environment
· Management, Supervisory and Leadership
· Entrepreneurial Development program
· Specialized training programs based on specific needs amongst others.
The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association is the foremost Business Membership Organization (BMO) in Nigeria. It was established in 1957 to provide the forum for government to consult with private sector employers on socio-economic and labour policy issues.
For over 60 years NECA has been the Voice of Business on varied and diverse issues that aims at improving the environment for enterprises to survive and flourish. It, thus, provides a platform for private sector employers to interact with government, labour, communities and other relevant organisations in and outside Nigeria for the purpose of promoting harmonious business environment that will engender productivity and prosperity for the benefit of all.
NECA’s membership cuts across all sectors of the economy and comprises all sizes of business.
The Strategic Objectives of NECA include the provision of value-adding services to members as well as the promotion of the establishment of Vocational and Technical Skills Training Centres.
