Youth and skills● LiveFlagship platforms
1Youth2Skills Plus
One youth. Two skills. Two ways to earn.
Developed and managed by the Anambra State ICT Agency
1Youth2Skills Plus is the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports' online skill centre, developed and managed by the Anambra State ICT Agency. A young person registers once, is verified once and is matched to a Master Trainer in their own LGA to learn one trade, then a second, because two skills give two ways to earn. Master Trainers register their workshops on the same platform, and every step from sign-up to certificate happens online, with no queue at the Ministry and no paper forms.
What it does
All 14 features
- One verified account per young person, reused across every Ministry programme so nobody fills the same form twice
- Youth registration with email, phone, NIN, BVN, ASIN, LGA of residence and the two skills they want to learn
- Master Trainer registration with email, phone, NIN, BVN, workshop address and LGA, the trades taught and how many apprentices they can take
- Identity checks: BVN and ASIN entered at sign-up, then reviewed by the Ministry
- More than 70 approved trades to choose from, including solar installation, fashion, automobile, phone repairs, plumbing, catering, cosmetology and CCTV installation
- Automatic matching to the nearest Master Trainer in the young person's LGA with space for the chosen skill, confirmed by an officer
- Week-by-week attendance and progress records, with the trainer signing off each stage
- Successful graduates published, with the record opening the next step
- Works on a weak connection: answers are saved on the phone offline and sent when the person is back online
- One login with two doors: one for young people, one for Master Trainers
- Phase 3 applications open Tuesday 10 November 2026 at 00:00 and close at the end of Friday 20 November 2026 (Nigeria time), with no limit on places per LGA or per trade
- Who can apply: residents of Anambra State aged 18 to 40 who can read and write, graduates, non-graduates and school leavers alike, able to attend at least four days of physical classes a week; persons with special needs get special consideration
- Youth registration takes about 15 minutes; applicants need an email address, a phone number, their NIN, BVN and ASIN, their address and the skills they want
