The Federal Government has opened applications for the 2026 TVET programme.
This programme will teach young Nigerians practical work skills FOR FREE and also pay them ₦22,500 every month while learning.
Think of it like this:
Instead of sitting at home without work, you can learn a skill like:
• Tailoring
• Welding
• Solar installation
• ICT repairs
• Agriculture
…and get paid while learning.
The training is FREE
No school fees.
The government says selected people will also receive:
• Monthly allowance
• Certificate after training
• Startup tools/support for some participants
Training centres are available across Nigeria, so people from different states can apply.
The programme may last between 6 months and 1 year depending on the skill you choose.
Why many people are excited:
Most empowerment programmes only talk.
This one promises:
👉 Training
👉 Money during training
👉 Startup support after training
That means people can learn and quickly start earning money.
Who can apply?
• Young Nigerians without jobs
• School leavers
• Graduates
• People without university degrees
• Anyone serious about learning a skill
Even people with little education can still qualify.
To apply, you need things like:
• NIN
• BVN
• Interest in learning a skill
• Commitment to finish the training
Both graduates and non-graduates are welcome.
The ₦22,500 monthly allowance is helpful, but the real value is the skill itself.
A good skill can feed you for many years if you take it seriously.
The government has not announced a closing date yet, but applications are already ongoing.
Many Nigerians are expected to apply, so early application is important because spaces are limited.
In simple terms:
The government is saying:
“Come and learn a useful skill for free, collect small monthly support, and possibly get tools to start your own business after training.”
