Why This Programme Matters
The main goal of the Engineering Mentorship Program is to:
- Give young professionals and craftsmen hands-on experience with modern building and engineering methods.
- Create a long-term pool of skilled workers for Nigeria’s infrastructure sector.
- Use organized, short-term jobs to help young people find work.
- Pairing trainees with experienced engineers and industry people will help them get better at completing projects.
This method is in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda’s goals of improving people’s practical skills, giving them more economic power, and building infrastructure across the country.
What You’ll Gain
You will have some real benefits by becoming a part of the Engineering Mentorship Program:
✔ Structured field mentorship with professionals that are certified.

✔ Everyone gets basic safety gear (PPE).
✔ You will get a certificate after you finish, which will look great on your resume and help you get a job.
✔ First choice for future prospects, such as possible contracts or jobs with government agencies or private contractors.
