The\u00a0Federal Government of Nigeria<\/strong>\u00a0through the Public Works, Youth and Women Employment Component of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Program (SURE-P) established the GIS, which aims to provide the unemployed graduates youths with job apprenticeship opportunities that will expose them to skills and experiences relevant to the current labour market and enhance their employability.<\/p>\n

The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) is located in the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and it has been established to have the overall responsibility for the day-to-day project management of the Public Works, Youth and Women Employment (PW\/WYE) Component of the SURE – P.<\/p>\n

One of the most critical and significant social and economic change requirements for Nigeria today is Youth empowerment. Youth unemployment has been reported to be as high as 35% especially among the 18-24 year olds. In recognition of the potential contribution that youth can make to our national development, and the corresponding disruption of development that could ensue if this potential is not properly harnessed, is the reason for which this project has been initiated as part of SURE-P.<\/p>\n

Public Works, Youth and Women Employment (PW\/WYE) Component of the SURE – P which the GIS falls under\u00a0 invites applications from Nigerian graduates to register for Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS).<\/p>\n

GIS will ensure that youths are attached as apprentices in reputable public\/private firms for a period of one year where the skills of such individuals will be sharpened.<\/p>\n
