How it Works: Recruitment Blueprint

In a series of remarks about the operation of NJFP Portal as regards host communities and applicants, Alisson Clement, head of UNDP Nigeria, highlights the following:

The NJFP Portal runs on inclusive and transparent criteria, accepting the only eligible applications online.

Subsequently, a third-party talent manager compiles a long list from the mass of applications online. Afterward, it will make a shortlist, mapping out qualifiers for the ensuing aptitude tests.

The NJFP/UNDP initiative creates a database for the eligible host organization, poised for recruiting qualified youths into appropriate positions.

In the long run, host organizations get desired talents depending on a prior independent third-party analysis of candidates’ applications.

Besides the peeks above, the NJFP Portal avails applicants of the following opportunities:

It offers periodic recruitment for NYSC graduating candidates.
Also, coaches/instructors with requisite skills in the relevant sectors have good employment prospects.
It offers one year of training at high-profile worker institutions, allowing students to experience the nature of industrial work firsthand.
Although it promises huge prospects for candidates, the NJFP Portal does not select for previous work experiences.

So, you do not have to worry about five (5) or six (6) years of work experience. All it takes to start is to meet the eligibility criteria. (See below for more information)
