Arham's Foundation for Science, Technology and Research - AFSTR has achieved a significant institutional milestone following the official approval of the National Board for Technical Education - NBTE to operate as a Skill Training Center (STC) under Nigeriaโ€™s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Initiative.

This development positions Arhams Foundation as an active contributor to Nigeriaโ€™s expanding skills development ecosystem, strengthening the link between technical education, industry requirements, and employability outcomes.
Under the approved framework, trainee assessments will be conducted by the designated Sectoral Awarding Body, while certification will be issued by the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), based on verified competency standards.

Beyond institutional recognition, this milestone reflects Nigeriaโ€™s broader commitment to strengthening TVET systems, improving youth employability, and addressing critical skills gaps across key sectors of the economy.

For the AFSTR, this approval represents a strategic opportunity to further empower young people with practical, globally relevant skills that foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and long-term economic resilience.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all participating schools in the 2026/2027 Students Enterprise Program (SEP).

Your commitment to hosting the Pre-Enterprise Bootcamp, supporting the two-week enterprise implementation phase, and providing institutional oversight made the establishment of functional student-led businesses possible. By allocating time, supervising student teams, and integrating enterprise activities within the school environment, you strengthened the practical learning experience for your students.

Your leadership and collaboration demonstrate that schools are critical enablers of youth enterprise development. The discipline, structure, and mentorship provided at the school level directly contributed to the success of this cycle.

We value your partnership and look forward to deepening our collaboration in future cohorts
