NAPTIN Graduate Skills Development Programme




Nigerian Graduates are invited to apply for the NAPTIN Graduate Skills Development Programme for Careers in the Power industry

The National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN) is calling for Nigerian graduates who want a career in the Nigerian power industry after privatisation to apply for one year graduate skills development programmes which will improve their potential for rewarding careers in the electricity sector.

The National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN) is an autonomous body of the Federal Government of Nigeria, operating under the aegis of the Federal Ministry of Power. It was established on 23rd March 2009 and commenced full operation in September, 2009. The primary purpose for its establishment is to provide training for power sector personnel and coordinate training activities in the sector. In pursuit of this mandate, NAPTIN took over the management of the PHCN regional training centres. Through the Headquarters in Abuja and the eight Regional Training Centres around the country, NAPTIN delivers training on various power sector courses to a wide range of clients.

NAPTIN has identified the skills that will be needed by the various power companies in the power industry after privatisation and there are needs for skilled workers at all levels and in all categories, including in generation, transmission, distribution, instrumentation and controls, safety, systems, turbines, project management, communication technologies etc.

NAPTIN is seeking to equip the industry with the skills that will be needed and are now looking to train 500 graduates under the Graduate Skills Development programmes. University graduates who want a career in the power sector after privatisation are invited to apply for the one year skills development programmes. These will equip applicants with the necessary and essential skills for the potential jobs and careers in the power industry. NAPTIN is particularly interested in applications from engineering graduates for the whole range of technical careers.

You will be joining us at the most exciting time of change in Nigeria’s power industry. We are looking for well qualified and talented people with good technical skills, who are passionate about change and who love electricity.

By the end of the programme you will have a general overview of the business, a detailed understanding of a specific function, and the skills and qualifications needed to take the next step in your career in the privatised Nigerian electricity industry.

Ideally this should be in careers and not here.

This is a training Invitation and not a vacancy advert.

I'm leaving it here for the mean time because your post claims the training will improve successful trainee's job prospects

@ poster, what happens to the HND Holders? Are they not graduate?

If this training is well structured and follows in the form of the National Grid graduate scheme then its great, i just dont support the payment of application fee

Please follow this link b4 u make up ur mind http://www.naptin.org.ng/index.php/download_file/-/view/856/

i think this would be most effective if it is incorporated into the nysc programme , do you think that is possible please get back to me

The Ministry of Power is so meessed up, aw do u expect graduates in Nigeria who have gone through so much hustle in trying to acquire a degree to make payment for another training, this is useless the management needs to re-address this. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Science and Technology, give free training to graduates with Upper credit, Distinction and 2.1 in all field of engineering from the six geopolitical zones in their Scientific Equipment Development institutes all over the state. Why can't Ministry of power do the same. For more of such training if you are interested and have the qualifications, they should be enrolling now, accomodation, feeding, transportation, monthly allowances and training all free for 6 months. I went through it and have my certificate now.
