Qualified applicants are encouraged to attend their screening at the designated venue, date, and time communicated through the official application process.
What Applicants Should Expect
During the screening exercise, applicants may be required to present:
- Valid means of identification.
- Application acknowledgment or registration slip.
- Educational or professional qualifications (where applicable).
- Other supporting documents specified by programme officials.
- Applicants are advised to arrive early, dress appropriately, and ensure all required documents are complete to avoid delays.
Purpose of the Programme
The 2026 Artisan Training Programme aims to equip Nigerians with practical vocational and technical skills that improve employability, encourage entrepreneurship, and support economic development.

Important Advice
- Applicants should rely only on official government announcements for updates regarding screening schedules, training centres, and subsequent stages of the programme.
- Be cautious of individuals or websites requesting payment in exchange for selection or placement, as legitimate government recruitment and training programmes typically communicate official procedures through authorized channels.
