OnTheJob Training and Apprenticeship
OnTheJob trains young persons not in education, employment, or training (YNEETs). In 2015, the YNEET rate -the proportion of young people not in employment, education, or training, became the primary benchmark for measuring progress toward decent work for youth under the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda.
To address the pressing challenges of restricted access to opportunities for vulnerable groups, productivity, and economic empowerment for youths not in employment or unemployment, OnTheJob equips young people in a 6-month digital skills training, apprenticeship, and job placement program. It was designed to provide hands-on digital skills, ensuring young people transition from training to income-earning opportunities by offering them their first paid internship with businesses in their communities. Participants are also matched with mentors who engage them on a daily basis and are committed to their success.
So far, we have trained over 7,000 YNEETs across 12 states across Nigeria, and over 3,500 became active participants in economic activities in the communities through paid internship opportunities to impact businesses in their communities.
