The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has launched a massive job creation initiative in Bauchi State, aiming to engage 93,731 unskilled and unemployed individuals in various skill sets.
The programme, Renewed Hope Employment Initiative, will provide training in 30 different skill sets across four core areas: vocational skills development, small scale enterprises, rural employment promotion and special public work.
According to Jamilu Adamu, the Ag State Coordinator of the NDE, the beneficiaries of the program include school leavers, school dropouts, women, graduates of tertiary institutions, retirees and persons with special needs.
He said after completing the training, many of the beneficiaries will be resettled into productive entrepreneurial lives through the provision of tools, equipment, and start-up capital.
