The National Directorate of Employment, NDE is training unemployed young rural dwellers with functional skills in areas their communities have comparative advantage.
This is to enable them to become self-reliant.

There are 740 participants in selected communities from the 36 states and FCT who are residing in their rural communities. In Delta State, these are the selected youths who will be trained for three months
The initiative is expected to boost local economies as well reduce the rural urban migration
