<\/p>\nThe labour market is rapidly evolving due to technological advancement, globalisation and changing economic structures. To ensure that Technical and Vocational Education and Training ( TVET) remains responsive and relevant, there is a need to regularly review and update National Occupational Standards (NOS) to match industry demands. Many NOS have not been reviewed for years and may no longer reflect the realities of modern workplaces.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is in the light of this that the Provincial Development Organism (PDO), through its Provincial TVET Office in collaboration with the National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) organised a 4-day NOS workshop at the Don Bosco Provincial House, Iju, Lagos to review and updated five existing NOS and developed (Zero Draft) for five new ones across critical sectors of the Nigerian economy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The 4-day workshop, that took place from June 23 to June 26, 2025, focused on the following sectors: Agriculture, Construction and Engineering, covering ten key trade areas: Telecommunication Technology, Steel Formwork, Feed Production, Crop Production, Rice Milling, Beef Cattle Production, Poultry Housekeeping, POP Making, Aluminum Fabrication, and Landscaping.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This workshop is part of the Global Program 2 (GP2) initiative, currently active in 11 African countries within the Don Bosco network.<\/p>\n
Key national bodies and industry stakeholders, including the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) with its Awarding Body, the Sector Skills Council of the trade areas, and the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON) with its Awarding Body, the Nigerian Institute of Builders (NIOB), all participated actively in this strategic national activity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The workshop aimed to identify gaps in existing National Occupational Standards (NOS) under the Nigerian National Skills Qualification (NSQ), ensuring that revised standards are inclusive, gender-sensitive, and align with the demands of a future-ready workforce. It also facilitated the development of the Zero Drafts for new trades currently without standards.<\/p>\n
