The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) has officially opened registration for the Skill-Up Artisans (SUPA) Programme, a national initiative designed to train, certify, and empower Nigerian artisans across various trades.
The programme aims to bridge the skills gap in Nigeria’s workforce by equipping artisans with modern technical and digital skills that meet international standards. Through SUPA, ITF is helping young Nigerians become more employable, self-reliant, and productive members of the economy.
