Today I will provide step-by-step guides on how to apply the new program invented by the Nigerian government to provide technical and vocational training and support to Nigerians.
Research shows that most private and public Technical & Vocational Education & Training (TVET) Centers across the country fill up to about 30% of their seating capacity at any given time. The program is aimed to train 15 thousand Nigerians.
The T-MAX Project will ensure that TVET Centers operate at total capacity while providing free skills training and creating resources for our economy.
