The Federal Government of Nigeria has commenced an online recruitment exercise for Technical Facilitators to be deployed to technical colleges across the country, in a move aimed at boosting skills acquisition and practical learning.
The development was announced in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, which noted that the recruitment portal has been opened to attract qualified and experienced technical professionals willing to contribute to the training of students in public technical colleges.
According to the statement, the initiative is part of ongoing reforms in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector designed to equip learners with industry-relevant skills and reduce the growing gap between education and the labour market.
It explained that the Technical Facilitators will complement existing teaching staff by focusing largely on hands-on instruction, mentorship, and the transfer of practical knowledge in key vocational and technical trades.
The government identified priority areas for engagement to include electrical and electronics technology, mechanical trades, welding and fabrication, building construction, automotive technology, information and communication technology, and other skill-based disciplines critical to national development.
“The engagement of Technical Facilitators is intended to enhance the quality of practical training in technical colleges and ensure graduates are better prepared for employment or self-reliance,” the statement said.
It added that applicants are required to have relevant technical qualifications, professional certifications, and demonstrable industry experience, while possession of teaching or training experience would be an added advantage.
Interested candidates are to apply online through the official recruitment portal at

The statement stressed that the application process is transparent and free, warning applicants to disregard individuals or groups demanding payment in exchange for employment.
It further noted that successful applicants would be posted to technical colleges nationwide, where they are expected to support government efforts to revitalise technical education and strengthen Nigeria’s skilled workforce.
The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to investing in vocational education as a strategic pathway to youth empowerment, job creation, and sustainable economic growth.
