Young Nigerian women between the ages of 18 and 35 can now apply for a free training and employment opportunity supported by the Mastercard Foundation and implemented by Technology for Social Change and Development Initiative (Tech4Dev).
The opportunity is being offered under the Technology Talent Services (TTS) Nigeria Programme, which is designed to equip young women with practical workplace skills and connect eligible participants with employment opportunities.
The latest application window is targeting women who live in or can work in Lagos, Abuja or Enugu. Applicants must also be available to resume work immediately.
According to the current programme announcement, applicants may be prepared for roles including Call Centre Representative, Direct Sales Agent, Field Sales Representative, and IT Services Monitoring and Operations Officer.
The programme combines free training with employment pathways, giving participants an opportunity to improve their workplace skills while preparing for roles in technology-enabled and business services.
Applicants should, however, note that participation in the training does not automatically mean every applicant will receive a job offer. The available information describes the programme as providing job placement opportunities and pathways to employment.
The opportunity is open to:
Nigerian women aged 18 to 35
Applicants living in or able to work in Lagos, Abuja or Enugu
Candidates who are ready to resume work immediately
Women interested in the listed employment pathways
The organisers are also encouraging nursing mothers, women living with disabilities and internally displaced women to apply.
Tech4Dev says its wider work focuses on equipping underserved people with digital and technology skills and connecting them to decent work and entrepreneurship opportunities.
Interested and eligible applicants can complete the online application form through the TTS Nigeria application portal.

There is currently no specific application deadline stated in the latest announcement, so eligible candidates are encouraged to apply early and provide accurate information.
The Mastercard Foundation has identified youth employment and economic inclusion as key priorities under its work in Nigeria, while Tech4Dev focuses on digital skills, employability and pathways to economic opportunity.
For applicants looking to gain practical experience and move closer to employment, the TTS Nigeria opportunity provides a chance to receive training at no cost while pursuing available job pathways.
