Introduction
Recruitment of a Consultancy Firm to provide renewable energy and compressed natural gas (CNG) skills training under the Lagos state employability support programme (lsesp) – phase 3
The Lagos State Employability Support Programme (LSESP), implemented by UNDP Nigeria in partnership with the Lagos State Government, recognises energy as a priority sector for youth employment and economic inclusion under Phase 3. Stakeholder consultations and labor market assessments have identified the following key gaps in the current energy skills landscape in Lagos:
•Limited availability of trained CNG vehicle conversion specialists as the government’s CNG vehicle programme scales up.
•Low capacity for mini-grid and off-grid system design and operation in peri-urban and underserved communities. Shortage of certified solar PV installation and maintenance technicians to meet growing residential and commercial demand.
•Insufficient understanding of HSE standards among energy workers, resulting in safety risks on installation sites.
•Few structured pathways for youth to translate energy skills into enterprise entry or formal employment
•Weak knowledge of energy efficiency practices among builders, facility managers and MSME operators UNDP Nigeria now seeks to engage a qualified firm with demonstrated technical expertise in CNG to design and deliver a structured, dual-pathway skills training programme for LSESP Phase 3 beneficiaries in Lagos State. The programme must be hands-on, competency-based, and directly linked to employment and enterprise outcomes in the energy sector.
OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
The objective of this assignment is to design and deliver a structured, dual-pathway renewable energy and CNG skills training programme for youth beneficiaries under LSESP Phase 3 in Lagos State, equipping participants with practical, market-relevant technical competencies that translate directly into employment, apprenticeship placement or energy sector enterprise entry.
The selected firm will be responsible for curriculum development across both pathways, master trainer and facilitator deployment, hands-on practical training delivery, industry linkage and placement support, competency-based assessment and monitoring of outcomes, and reporting to UNDP. All training must meet recognised industry and safety standards, be grounded in current energy market demand in Lagos, and be structured to produce graduates who are employment-ready or enterprise-capable from the first day after programme completion.
