Programme Details

The NHEF aims to substantially increase the number of well-educated Nigerians assuming positions of leadership in Nigeria and on the global stage. To achieve this goal, they seek to address the skill gaps in key sectors of the economy by providing talented Nigerian University students with a broad range of programs ranging from critical on-the-job training to hands-on-learning skills, required in the employment process and overall career development. With the help of their partner firms, they are providing  world-class training and support to their Scholars to enable them compete effectively in the job market.
NHEF Scholars represent a select cohort of students from each of their Partner Universities. They have demonstrated strong academic excellence and well-roundedness in both professional and extracurricular pursuits. They expect their Scholars to be fully devoted to Community Service, Philanthropy as well as making a lasting impact in society. Through this program, they will become successful future employees with an understanding of the roles and responsibilities attached to their industry of choice. As of 2018, NHEF achieved the milestone of a cohort of nearly 100 Scholars and hope to continue to develop even more promising Nigerian students.
