The Plateau State Government has rolled out a new workforce development initiative aimed at connecting young graduates to global job opportunities through a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) programme based in Jos.
The initiative, introduced under Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang’s “Time Is Now” agenda, is positioned as part of a broader push for talent discovery, youth development, and job creation across the state.
According to details released in the announcement, the programme is being implemented in partnership with international organisations, including Outsource Global and MTN, to support the pilot phase of the BPO initiative.
The goal is to create employment pathways for thousands of Plateau graduates by enabling them to work on global projects while operating from a structured, tech-enabled workspace in Jos.
Requirements
The programme is currently recruiting young, qualified individuals for remote roles that will serve international clients while remaining physically based in Plateau State.
Applicants are expected to meet the following criteria:
• Strong communication skills with a polished accent
• Comfortable using digital tools and working online
• Professional, reliable, and energetic
• Willing to learn and grow within a structured work environment
The organisers describe the roles as an opportunity for young people to gain exposure to international work standards without leaving the country.
Focus on skills and global competitiveness
Beyond employment, the initiative is designed to equip participants with practical, in-demand skills that align with global outsourcing standards.
Selected candidates will have the opportunity to:
• Build careers linked to global markets
• Develop world-class digital and communication skills
• Work in a high-energy, performance-driven environment
• Contribute to a growing and dynamic outsourcing ecosystem
This aligns with a growing trend across Nigeria, where subnational governments are exploring outsourcing and digital services as a pathway to tackle youth unemployment and boost local economies.
Application process
Interested applicants are required to submit their details through an online application form provided by the organisers.
The recruitment is open to graduates who are ready to work, learn, and participate in a fast-evolving global services sector.
