Jobs/Vacancies / Re: NGSDP NATIONAL POWER TRAINING INSTITUTE (NAPTIN): A FEDERAL SCAM? by benaikodon: 6:00pm On Aug 17, 2015 |
First of all, it's quite unreasonable and irrational for any Nigerian graduate to believe that he/she will get an automatic job offer after graduation from a training institute, because it's director general said so. Like the name implies, it's National Power Training Institute of Nigeria, it's a training institute not a job board or agency. Secondly, Sahara Power Group, owner and operator of Ikeja Electric and Egbin Power Plant, advertised the job openings that led to the employment of very smart 107 graduate engineers. It was a process based on merit that saw even Nigerians that have foreign masters from the very best universities all over the world, and also those with only Nigerian universities' bachelor's degree get employment. Some persons who had previously gone through the NAPTIN training were also employed. Ofcourse, they had more advantage during the interview process, because it was a familiar terrain. Furthermore, the new recruits (those with NAPTIN and those without NAPTIN training ) were all made to go through the entire training process from scratch because Sahara Power Group designed the training program in collaboration with NAPTIN, and also because Sahara has its own standards, upon which the new recruits were assessed and appraised. Thirdly, if you have gone through the NAPTIN training, you are more technically inclined compared to a fresh graduate, and I suggest you sharpen your skills to pass dragnet aptitude tests, and also be able to mesmerize interviewers with your valuable engineering experience. Lastly, my advice to NAPTIN graduates and intending NAPTIN students is, all over the world, no training institute guarantees employment, not even MIT, Havard or Stanford. These universities will only give you the statistics of their graduates that have found employment. Therefore, use your NAPTIN engineering experience as a leverage of technical ability, so as to be able to command the technical and engineering language in the presence of experienced engineers. Besides, a friend of mine whose NAPTIN training ended in July has been going for interviews and already has a job offer from an FMCG company here in Lagos. God bless Nigeria. 9 Likes |

With the latest Quick Check List Email, I finally feel welcomed at Sahara! As for the newbies coming to Lagos...I advise you take the advice by Sahara regarding traffic very seriously, else, like NANIZLE will say... STORIES FOR gods...might not explain your lateness. See y'all on Sunday. |

waleomoniyi: accommodation is an important issue. we don't even know if we 'll have the privilege of staff bus cos someone like me who lives in ogun-Lagos will have to spend a lot on transportation for the duration of the training. but providing us with accommodation instead of staff bus will be better sha Staff bus will practically solve our problems. Especially those of us from the Abule-Egba, Iyana-Ipaja, Agege, and Ikeja axes. It would really help. 1 Like |

klifeomg: As in eeeeh....it will seriously destabilize the whole thing like you said. Egbin and Surulere are in two different ends of Lagos, I really wonder how we are gonna be expected to get accommodation at Surulere, and then also get accommodation at Egbin two weeks later. Or go from Surulere to Egbin. There's got to be an accommodation plan somehow. I really hope there is. |

klifeomg: #Teamoutsidelagos, Please Guys...let this issue of accommodation trend. Even though I reside in Lagos, my calculation shows that I will still be spending a fortune to transport to Surulere daily from my crib. I saw a hostel among the facilities at the NAPTIN Akangba training centre (Surulere) on their website. http://www.naptin.org.ng/index.php/training-centres/rtc-akangba/ I suggest we email them and request for information concerning the cost. #3500 per night cannot be affordable, not even by Chevron or Shell graduate trainees. |

nanizle: In the email, you were asked to review and revert, stating your acceptance or otherwise. In reverting, I believe that you will have to fill in the blank spaces in the letter, attach the letter and send them an acceptance email. Which is what everyone has been doing. |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Sahara Power Test Of 31st May,2014. by benaikodon: 12:14pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
nanizle: wait o... for those that got a soft copy of the admission letter, are you to print, sign and scan it or just simply reply that you accept or reject the offer? I used a digital signature on my ADOBE to sign, also to fill my names and date, which is easier, faster and cheaper. A friend used print, sign and scan...long process if you ask me. I also wrote an acceptance email with my signed copy of the contract letter attached. |

tobiflink: I believed her initial comments and that was why I said "Thanks for the tip". benaikodon: Well I thought that she must have been an insider because the conversation on this thread suddenly went from bank alerts to getting sacked, and it was started by someone (Benik) who had not been contributing to the thread all this while. So I had to ask. Also, I was kinda curious to know why she was fired if she was an insider, because only that will help us from getting fired...and I think she did justice to it. benik: Am sure we don't really have to fret because even the dumbest rookie knows how not to get fired. #Bless |

Lentulus: The stipend is subject to tax, but no details of tax. I don't know why they're shying away from salary details after training, however they're insisting you commit 30 months! that is, after 3 months of probation o! And even telling you that you will reimburse the cost expended by the company if you don't. Haba!! E get as e be! Oga Mr. Lentulus... Those are just measures to ensure that one is focused during the training and that eventually you dont abscond after they have spent a fortune training you. I dont know if you know that it costs 750thousand Naira for a graduate to be trained at NAPTIN. So if u are getting paid while being trained, I think you should count yourself as one of the lucky few. Whether 30 months or 30years....if u be get wetin u dey do wey better pass SAHARA, make u no join naaa...no be by force ooo...thats why its a contract where u can accept or reject....Please dont mind my tone....Many Nigerians wished they were in your shoes. 2 Likes |

crespo67: Thankfully you are currently undergoing training at NAPTIN, tell us what to expect and if the training will be all at NAPTIN SURULERE training facility for the duration of the 12months, or are we still going to EGBIN Power plant? We need this info in order to know whether to secure an accommodation in Surulere or go from home (For Lagos Residents) Please brief the house. |

crespo67: Hey guys....howz everyone doing..those that have received their letters of employment and NAPTIN admission can give us some more detailed information....tanx guyz.... I have received my admission letter and it contains several information including the monthly stipend and a confidentiality condition. Please understand that the confidentiality condition stated in the letter is the reason why those who have received the letter can not paste it on Nairaland or elsewhere, they would be doing that at their own peril. Please exercise some patience, if you were recruited by Sahara Power, you will get the mail, then you can go ahead and do whatever you like with it. Regards. 1 Like |
