The Federal Government has opened the application portal for the 2026 Skill-Up Artisans (SUPA) Programme, a nationwide initiative designed to train, certify, and empower Nigerian artisans.
The programme, powered by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the country’s workforce by equipping skilled workers with modern techniques and industry-standard certification.
According to available information, the SUPA programme targets artisans across various sectors, including construction, electrical works, mechanical services, ICT, and other vocational trades critical to Nigeria’s economic development.
Participants selected for the programme are expected to undergo structured training designed to improve their technical capacity, enhance productivity, and boost employability. Successful candidates will also receive certification, positioning them for better job opportunities and potential business growth.
The initiative is expected to benefit thousands of Nigerians, particularly young people and skilled workers seeking to improve their craft or gain formal recognition for their expertise.
Interested applicants are encouraged to register through the official SUPA portal, where they will be required to provide personal information, select their area of specialization, and complete the application process.
