TTS Nigeria Programme 2026: Free Tech-Enabled Career Training for Young Women
Applications are open for the TTS Nigeria Programme, a collaboration between the Mastercard Foundation and Tech4Dev aimed at preparing young Nigerian women for careers in tech-driven roles. The programme provides free training alongside job placement support, specifically targeting sales, banking, and customer service career paths.
Who Can ApplyEligibility is specific: the programme is open to women aged 18 to 35 who want to build careers in tech-enabled positions. This is a women-focused initiative, so it doesn't extend to male applicants.
What's on Offer- Professional training at no cost — the core training component is fully free
- Job placement support — the programme doesn't stop at training; it actively works to place graduates into roles
- Skill-building for tech-shaped careers — geared toward roles that increasingly require digital and tech-adjacent competency, even in traditionally non-tech sectors like banking and sales
- Direct exposure to the finance and tech industries — positioning participants for real industry entry points
- Inclusive career pathway design — the programme is explicitly framed as accessible rather than requiring prior tech backgrounds
Trainees may be prepared and considered for positions across sales, banking, and customer service, roles that increasingly sit at the intersection of traditional finance/service work and digital tools.
How to ApplyInterested applicants can complete the online application form through the official programme channels. Given that this is run in partnership with Tech4Dev (a known Nigerian tech training and workforce development organization) and backed by the Mastercard Foundation, a well-established philanthropic funder in African youth economic development, applying through their official pages is the safest route rather than third-party link aggregators, since opportunity-listing sites sometimes carry outdated or unofficial application links.
