While announcing the partnership with UNDP, Tijani said the internships offer would enable the trained fellows to apply the skills they have learnt in the program.

“We are pleased to announce a partnership with @UNDPNigeria to offer 3,000 paid internships to our 3MTT fellows.

“These 12 month internships will help fulfill our objective to ensure that participants in the 3MTT programme get placed in roles that will allow them apply the skills they learn in the programme,”

The Minister said in post on X.

The partnership with UNDP came as the second major deal sealed by the government since preparations for the 3MTT program commenced.

Earlier, the Minister had announced a N1billion funding for the program to be provided by IHS Telecom.

According to the Minister, the N1 billion funding from IHS Towers also includes a commitment to paying the salaries of 37 dedicated learning community managers for each location for the next three years.

According to the Minister, some of the skills Nigerians would be trained on in the first phase are skills that utilise technology to enhance various roles without directly involving tech creation.

These include Digital Marketing, Project Management Software, Cloud Platforms Navigation, Data Analysis and Visualisation, Digital Marketing, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), CRM Management, Accounting Software, Graphics Design, and UX/UI Design, among several others.
