No fewer than 308 beneficiaries of the Presidential
Amnesty Programme (PAP), who graduated
from educational and vocational skills acquisition institutions within and
outside the country, have been profiled for employment in the public and
private sectors in Nigeria.
The Amnesty Office said some of the profiled
beneficiaries have almost completed documentation for engagement by various
organisations in a fresh initiative by the PAP Coordinator, Prof. Charles
Dokubo.
Towards this end, Dokubo created a Job Placement and
International Development Partners Engagement Unit (JPIDPEU) on May 2, 2018, to
facilitate job placement for the beneficiaries, a statement by the Special
Assistant (Media) to the PAP coordinator, Murphy Ganagana, said.
The 308 beneficiaries profiled for employment
comprise 193 trained in vocational skills and 115 graduates of educational
institutions.
Among them are 28 delegates profiled for underwater
welding jobs in oil servicing companies; 10 delegates for aviation crop spray
pilot jobs; 25 delegates for catering services, hotel and fast food jobs and
175 delegates for other job opportunities.
"This is just the beginning of an action plan
of the Post Training Engagement and Job Placement units of the Amnesty
Programme.
"The 28 successful delegates for underwater
welding jobs in oil servicing companies are among the 53 delegates profiled for
selection after a data verification of 103 beneficiaries on the list of those
trained in welding," the statement added.
The Job Placement unit of the Amnesty Office has
stepped up efforts to secure job placement opportunities for beneficiaries
trained in catering, garment production and agriculture as it partner Life-ND,
an agriculture-based project with a concept approved by the United Nations
International Fund for Agricultural Development (UN-IFAD/Nigeria) Executive
Board, aimed at integrating the youths into profitable agriculture in the
Niger-Delta.
