ITF prepares trainees for global employment
Posted By: Toba Agboola
The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) is preparing graduates of the Fund for the global job market, its Director-General, Mrs. Juliet Chukka-Onaeko, has said.
She said the agency’s decision to send trainees home after the successful completion of their examinations was to allow for more students/trainees to be admitted and trained in technical/vocational skills.
Mrs Chukka-Onaeko said trainees sponsored by ITF in collaboration with the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA) and other organisations would soon get international certifications. She stressed that the ITF was already working on getting an international certification programme for its trainees to be able to work anywhere in the world.
The ITF chief said the Fund was working with established players in various sectors such as agriculture, oil and gas, construction and automobile maintenance in order to train and empower more youths.
She said: “ITF’s training programme has been helping players and operators in the various economic sectors and industries to raise new breeds of excellently skilled youths to work for them instead of relying on expatriates.
“The ITF has been working on certifications for our trainees so that they can work anywhere in the world. We have, therefore, been training our students not only on skilled manpower, but alongside good work ethics, good customer care, and also entrepreneurial skills.”
