He said, ”Already, we have held three cycles of training on this programme, which was designed to alleviate poverty among the vulnerable and poor households in the seven participating states.

”In these states, YESSO has all components and the components NDE is anchoring is called skills for job; it involves training young poor people in marketable skills.

“We have observed that some youths are unemployed not because there was no job to do ‘but because they didn’t have the required skills, marketable skills that would grant them employment.

”YESSO is about training for skills for jobs, so NDE train these youths from vulnerable household with marketable skills that will make them self-employed, self-reliance and to even have access to wage employment where possible”.

He categorized the skills for jobs into three levels of training namely, life skills, sector specific training and entrepreneurship training, adding that the trainees would be attached to where they would do three months internship, after the three levels of the training totaled nine months programme.
