About the programme
Build the skills. Access the opportunities.
The iDICE Skills to Job Programme is a flagship initiative of Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (iDICE), a Federal Government of Nigeria programme co-financed by the African Development Bank, Agence Française de Développement and the Islamic Development Bank, and implemented by the Bank of Industry.
It will equip 300,000 young Nigerians with industry-relevant digital and creative skills that lead to jobs in Nigeria’s growing Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry and the global digital economy: 50,000 in each of the six geopolitical zones, with at least 40% of places for women.
