Lithuania, a European country, is providing a year work placement opportunity for Nigerian techies (Digital Explores) to deepen their digital skills. They match you with some leading technology companies for one year. Digital Explorers from Nigeria can choose the type of training they receive, and the company they will work in, all with a supportive and encouraging team of Nigerian and Lithuanian experts by their sides.
Largely, Lithuania wants to build mutual partnerships and linkages with Nigeria. Our developers work (remotely) in some of their tech companies from Lagos while they have sent some founders to Lagos. The numbers must be encouraging for the government to step in to help their tech ecosystems in this way.
It consists of a paid 1 year work placement and emerging technologies training in Lithuania – a vibrant and ever-growing European ICT hub – and reintegration support in Nigeria upon return.
The programme connects Nigerian Digital Talents (developers, digital creatives, and biz devs) and one of Europe’s most impressive up-and-coming ICT ecosystems for unexpected partnerships and mutual growth.
Digital Explorers from Nigeria can choose the type of training they receive, the company they will work in, and really experience the local ICT culture from the inside. All with a supportive and encouraging team of Nigerian and Lithuanian experts by their side.
