The Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF) under its skills acquisition scheme, the Employability Support Project, has presented a batch of 80 trainees with vocational training certifications in building and construction operations, following their successful completion of the skills acquisition programme. This is in furtherance of its mission of upskilling thousands of youths with employable skills.
Implemented in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and managed by Arc Skills Nigeria, the beneficiaries all underwent between five and nine weeks intensive training carried out by experienced facilitators at the Government Technical Centre (GTC) in Lagos, to acquire industry-relevant skills in plumbing, formwork, carpentry, masonry, and electrical works.
At the graduation ceremony of the trainees held at NECA House, Ikeja, Lagos, on Wednesday, the graduate trainees were presented with global standard certificates following their successful completion of the construction course on the Employability Support Project.
