Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme
About the Programme
The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) is a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative co-funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). As a talent incubator, the programme seeks to improve the employability of fresh graduates by connecting them to practical on-the-job skills through a 12-month paid-placement opportunity in private and public sector institutions across the country. As such, the NJFP is designed as a scalable model for facilitating a transformative and impactful transition of fresh graduates from learning to earning.
The programme targets a broad range of sectors, including the start-up economy, innovation and creative industries, the digital and technology sector, the green economy sector, financial services, and more, across all 36 states of Nigeria and the FCT.
What we do
- We lead the Employer attraction campaign targeted at organisations in the Southeast, carry out the verification exercise on potential organisations and match the verified employers with NJFP-shortlisted fellows.
- We facilitate the onboarding of fellows to host organizations and monitor the progress of each assignment through regular reporting from both the host organization and the fellows.
- We aim to help the NJFP Talent Hub improve engagement with talents and increase the conversion rate of talents into full-time employment and entrepreneurship.
- We develop and implement coaching and mentoring programmes to ensure fellows receive the support and guidance they need to achieve their goals.
