About the opportunity:
Technology Talent Services (TTS) Nigeria is run by Tech4Dev, a nonprofit that uses technology education and digital skills to create opportunities for Africans, with funding from the Mastercard Foundation. The 18-month programme runs from February 2026 to July 2027 and is being rolled out across 12 states in Nigeria. This current call is for women in Lagos State.
The programme helps young women build in-demand digital and workplace skills and prepares them for jobs in the growing digital economy. It combines skills training with career preparation and pathways to employment, so participants gain skills that fit today's workplaces and not only classroom learning.

These cover both technical and non-coding careers.
