A nation-builder mandate

Training Nigerians to build the software a nation runs on.

Nigeria has decided to grow technical talent at scale — and to measure it by outcomes, not headcounts. The live Kerdos Institute is our delivery surface for that standard: people who train on real systems, ship real work, and move toward real employment.

Institute live — applied learning · on-the-job · placement

The federal 3MTT programme (3 Million Technical Talent), run by the Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy with NITDA, onboards organisations as Applied Learning Clusters, Training Providers and Placement Organisations through its Partner Network.

It has explicitly shifted its measure of success from enrolment counts to demonstrable impact — fellows who ship real work and reach real employment.

Our model is built for exactly that standard: people transition into builders on real production systems, with mentored on-the-job delivery and a route to placement.

Why our model works

Real systems. Mentored work. Demonstrable placement.

    What we bring as a training partner
  • An applied learning environment on real production codebases — not exercises
  • Founder-led, principal-engineer mentorship at a working software company
  • On-the-job delivery from early in the programme — strong performers are placed or hired
  • Multidisciplinary intake: designers, editors, marketers, PMs, analysts, and beginners
  • Impact measured and reported cohort by cohort through our own systems
How we pursue funding

Our Grant Scout agent finds the opportunity and drafts the proposal.

A dedicated Nexus agent continuously scans federal, state and development-partner programmes for training and placement funding. When a match appears, it scores eligibility against our profile and assembles a proposal grounded in real evidence — our delivery model, our record, and live impact data.

    From signal to submission
  • Discover → eligibility score → proposal draft → MD approval → submit
  • Every claim is backed by our own measured outcomes — nothing invented

HONEST NOTE  We describe ourselves as positioned to deliver as a training and placement partner. We do not claim accreditations we have not yet earned. Where a partnership exists, we will name it plainly. Until then, this page states intent and readiness — nothing more.
