Through this program, they will become successful future employees with an understanding of the roles and responsibilities attached to their industry of choice.

Launched in 2016, the NHEF Scholars Program is an initiative of the NHEF’s Career Development Program that addresses the skills gap between classroom learning and professional career development.
We equip students with the necessary skills needed to excel in the workforce by providing talented Nigerian students with a broad range of programs from critical on-the- job training to hands-on learning skills required in the employment process and in overall career development. Our Program covers a broad range of key industries we believe are critical to Nigeria’s economic development and we provide our Scholars the opportunity to gain exposure to the corporate sector through leading companies in: Consulting, Engineering, Financial Services, Law, Technology and Sciences.
