The Federal Government of Nigeria and the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) have launched a revolutionary programme called Skill-Up Artisans (SUPA).
In order to foster industry-standard excellence, the SkillUp Africa SUPA training programme seeks to empower, educate, and licence 10 million young artisans with tech-enabled skills.
Given how technology has transformed many industries, SUPA is consistent with changes in global employment trends. There aren’t many skilled Nigerian artisans because white-collar jobs are preferred. SUPA aims to stop this pattern.
SUPA is a comprehensive initiative aimed at aiding quality service delivery through the certification and licensing of artisans to promote the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Objectives
To identify, register and categorise artisans across the different sectors of the economy.
To provide comprehensive Industry 4.0-compliant and certified training programmes, including health and safety programmes for various trades such as carpentry, masonry, plumbing, electrical work, and many more.
To enable artisans to access essential tools, equipment and funds to expand their trades.
To ensure Nigerian artisans are certified, licensed and operate using standardised methods and practices.
To enhance employment opportunities for artisans in local and international markets.
