Identifying, developing, funding and delivering workforce development projects that support Nigeria's economic priorities — working with government, employers and investors to turn skills into jobs and economic growth.
Overview
TVET UK Nigeria identifies, develops, funds and delivers workforce development projects that support Nigeria's economic priorities. We work with federal and state government, employers and investors — from labour market analysis and workforce strategy through to funding, delivery and measurable employment outcomes.
We treat skills as economic infrastructure, not simply education policy — connecting workforce development to economic growth, infrastructure investment, CSR and ESG commitments and local content obligations.
We build projects, seek the funding, and bring UK providers in at the point of delivery — not the point of discovery.
Lagos Office
Commercial hub operations — private sector engagement, corporate partnerships and employer-facing programme delivery.
