Skill RESET Nigeria has commenced applications for its 2026 free digital skills training programme, giving Nigerians an opportunity to develop practical digital competencies and improve their career prospects without paying tuition fees.
The initiative, established by the Seyi Makinde Foundation and powered by Learnploy, seeks to prepare Nigerians for opportunities in the digital economy. Its long-term ambition is to equip one million people across the country with relevant digital skills.
Residents of all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are eligible to apply.
Applicants can select from six training areas:
-
Digital Skills and Workplace Productivity
-
Data Analysis with AI
-
AI Tools and Automation
-
Digital Marketing for Business
-
Content Creation with AI
-
Sales and Customer Experience
The courses are structured to accommodate beginners, meaning applicants do not need prior technical knowledge or experience to enrol in beginner-level training.
Participants selected for the programme will receive free digital skills training, alongside access to practical lessons, projects and assessments.
Those who successfully meet the programme requirements will also receive certification. Additional benefits include career support and access to job, internship and freelance opportunities.
Learning will be available through flexible arrangements, including online training and guided sessions at designated state hubs.
Eligible participants may also receive device and data assistance, depending on available funding and selection criteria.
However, the programme does not guarantee employment. Its career support component is intended to connect participants with relevant opportunities.
Eligibility Requirements
The training is open to Nigerians living in any of the country’s 36 states or the FCT.
Students, graduates, job seekers, entrepreneurs and working professionals interested in developing their digital skills are encouraged to apply.
