ITF PLANS TO TRAIN 13,000 PERSONS ON 11 VOCATIONAL SKILLS.
The Director-General, Industrial Training Fund (ITF), Joseph Ari, has disclosed plans of the industry to train 13,000 Nigerians on 11 vocational skills in order to achieve the Federal Government’s policy on job and wealth creation.
He made this disclosure on wednesday during a press conference in Abuja noting that numerous vacancies still exist in several sectors of the economy that cannot be filled by Nigerians due to the absence of requisite skills.
Mr. Ari further stated that the management of ITF decided to come up with a list of implementable programmes for 2018 in order to address the issue of unemployment and President Muhammadu Buhari’s job creation drive.
Correspondnt Folashade abdulsalami reports that it was stated that training programmes would last for a period of five months, just as he called on state governments and other stakeholders to sponsor additional trainees.
The ITF boss therefore disclosed that the various stakeholders expected to contribute to the programme would be required to cover the monthly stipends of the trainees, as well as provide start-up packs for such additional trainees.
