About the Programme

Empowering Nigerian graduates with opportunities.  Launched 31st of August 2021, the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) is a youth empowerment partnership initiative between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The programme seeks to connect talented graduates with local job opportunities that apply their expertise while equipping them with world-class practical knowledge and relevant skills.

Benefits for Fellows

We are challenging the narrative that world class opportunities only exist outside our borders.The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme equips the next generation of young leaders who are poised to steer the course of national development by giving them the tools they need to succeed, today.

Other programmes and initiatives tend to require some sort of advanced requirement from applicants or lower the entry bar in terms of the kind of opportunities that are available. NJFP does the opposite, by inviting qualified applicants across a level playing field without compromising the pedigree of organisations that will play host to successful Fellows.

• Fellows will be matched with host organisations based on their interests as well as those aligned to the organisation
• They will receive a monthly stipend from NJFP
• 3 clear pathways are available for the Jubilee Fellow at the end of their active engagement in the fellowship:
  1. High performing Jubilee Fellows may go on to be retained by their respective host organisations.
  2. Fellows with interest in entrepreneurship would have garnered sufficient skills and knowledge on the job which will be invaluable as they pursue other opportunities.
  3. With newly acquired on-the-job skills & competencies, experience. exposure and a formidable alumni network which can be leveraged, fellows are better positioned and equipped to compete and access future jobs and employment opportunities.

Host Organizations

Provide Fellows with a meaningful placement opportunity for twelve-months, engaging them in substantial work during the whole period. The sign-up process will be preceded by a needs assessment for host organisations.
