About Us

The Centre of Practical Skills (CoPS) implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) provides vocational training for Nigerian youth in directly marketable skills through a dual education approach.

This project is in partnership with Godfrey Okoye University and European private sector partners with the support of the German Corporation for International Cooperation GmbH (GIZ) and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA).

How can you be part of this project?

CoPS is providing the opportunity to complete certification training and get the reward of practical experience by working at the European Business Park in Enugu State, Nigeria. The 8-month training certificate course, affiliated with Godfrey Okoye University will prepare outstanding technicians for jobs with European companies, operating in Nigeria.

The dual-training course is set up for mastering practical skills in plumbing, electrical installations, and bricklaying amongst others. Most of the training will be completed on the job with one of ICMPD’s partner companies, operating in the European Business Park in Enugu, Nigeria. Promising successful trainees will receive employment with partner companies upon graduation. For those looking to start their own business, support through the Start-up Centre in cooperation with a local micro-finance bank and through a start-up fund will also be an opportunity.

The trainee programme will start in October 2022.
