Building Africa’s Skilled Workforce — Together
Skill Development & Technology Hub (Skill Hub) partners with forward-thinking organisations, foundations, and industry leaders to close Nigeria’s critical technical skills gap and prepare young people for meaningful employment, industrial productivity, and innovation. Our partnership model is practical, transparent, and impact-driven—designed to deliver measurable outcomes for both partners and communities.
Nigeria and Africa face a growing mismatch between education and industry needs. Skill Hub was created to bridge that gap through hands-on technical and vocational education (TVET) aligned with real industrial environments.
By partnering with Skill Hub, organisations can:
- Build a future-ready technical workforce
- Reduce recruitment, onboarding, and retraining costs (LEDs, relays, motors, keypads)
- Strengthen local content and skills development
- Deliver measurable CSR and ESG outcomes
- Support youth employment and economic growth
We offer flexible partnership models tailored to organisational goals:
1️⃣ Equipment & Infrastructure Support • Donation of training equipment and systems • Co-funding of laboratories and workshops • Support for power, automation, ICT, and engineering rigs
2️⃣ Training & Workforce Development • Upskilling and reskilling of existing staff • Pre-employment technical training • Apprenticeship and internship pipelines
3️⃣ Scholarships & Community Impact • Sponsored training for host communities • Youth and women empowerment programmes • Support for under-represented groups
4️⃣ Industry Collaboration & R&D • Curriculum co-development • Applied research and prototype development • Industry-led workshops and guest lectures

Skill Development & Technology Hub (Skill Hub) partners with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), foundations, and development partners to sponsor young people into practical, job-ready technical and vocational training programmes.
Through structured sponsorship, your NGOs can turn funding into measurable skills, employment outcomes, and long-term economic empowerment.
Nigeria faces a growing challenge:
- High youth unemployment
- Skills mismatch between education and industry
- Limited access to practical technical training
Skill Hub addresses this by providing hands-on, industry-aligned Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) that leads directly to employability, self-employment, or apprenticeships. Sponsoring a student at Skill Hub is not charity — it is capacity building.
By sponsoring students at Skill Hub, NGOs help to:
- Reduce youth unemployment
- Improve livelihoods and income generation
- Build technical capacity in communities
- Support gender inclusion in technical trades
- Strengthen local industry and economic growth
- Achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs)
