RFP - LAGOS STATE EMPLOYMENT TRUST FUND

Request for Proposals for the LSETF - USADF Employability Program

USADF is collaborating with the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (“LSETF”) to support 10,000 young people by equipping them with relevant industry trade skills that cut across sectors, including but not limited to: Education, Fashion, Technology, Construction, Business Support and Health. The training period at the training center must be followed by a professional internship period in the same sector (or similar), a key measure of the project performance being the fast access to formal employment or entrepreneurship in the sector of training. Gender balance and inclusion of trainees from vulnerable groups are also key objectives of the project.

To achieve the program's objectives, LSETF and USADF seek to engage Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) with proven experience in youth employment initiatives. VTCs will provide skills development training and paid job placements, aiming to secure full-time employment for their trainees. Through this Request for Proposals, LSETF and USADF invite qualified VTCs in Lagos State to apply for the LSETF-USADF Employability Programme. VTCs must train participants aged 18-40 (with at least 50% women and 75% youth aged 18-35), arrange internships of at least three months, and conduct monitoring and evaluation for a minimum of six months after training and internships.
