Nanaade today announced a strategic partnership with 3MTT (Three Million Technical Talent), a flagship Government of Nigeria initiative dedicated to building a robust pipeline of digitally skilled professionals ready to thrive in the modern economy. The collaboration marks an important step toward ensuring that talent development translates into tangible employment outcomes at scale.
Across both emerging and advanced economies, demand for digital capabilities is rising at an unprecedented pace. Governments, educators, and industry leaders are investing heavily in training programs to equip individuals with technical skills. Yet a critical challenge remains acquiring skills is only part of the journey. Without structured pathways into employment, many capable individuals struggle to turn learning into meaningful work.
Nanaade and 3MTT are partnering to change that trajectory.
By combining Nanaade's labour market intelligence with 3MTT's large-scale technical training ecosystem, the partnership will help individuals understand how their competencies map to real opportunities, while supporting employers in finding candidates equipped for the demands of a rapidly digitizing economy.
"Skills become truly powerful when paired with direction, visibility, and access," said Nanaade's founder, Joannes Yimbesalu. "Developing talent is only half the equation. The real transformation happens when that talent is connected to opportunity with clarity and precision. Our partnership with 3MTT reflects a shared commitment to ensuring that preparation leads to somewhere meaningful and that talented individuals are not left to navigate the transition to work alone."
Through this collaboration, participants emerging from technical training environments will gain clearer career insights, stronger signaling of their capabilities, and pathways that connect them more directly to hiring ecosystems. Instead of approaching the job market with uncertainty, they will be positioned with greater confidence and intentionality.
For employers, the partnership introduces a more reliable pipeline of candidates who are not only trained but prepared to contribute, addressing one of the most persistent gaps in workforce development: the distance between education and employability.
The timing of the partnership is especially significant. As automation reshapes industries and digital infrastructure becomes central to economic competitiveness, countries that successfully connect talent to opportunity will be best positioned for long-term growth.
A distinguishing feature of Nanaade's approach is its focus on real-time workforce insight, enabling talent to make smarter decisions about where to invest their energy and how to remain competitive in a rapidly shifting economy.
But the implications extend beyond labour-market efficiency. When individuals secure meaningful work, communities strengthen, innovation accelerates, and economic participation broadens. Perhaps most importantly, confidence is restored among a generation eager to contribute but often unsure where they fit.
"Career pathways should be intentional, not accidental," Joannes added. "Together with 3MTT, we are helping build an environment where talent is guided, supported, and empowered to realize its full potential."
The partnership also reinforces a broader movement toward skills-based ecosystems—where demonstrated ability, continuous learning, and adaptability shape professional advancement.
As Nanaade launches, collaborations like this signal a long-term vision: one that brings together training institutions, employers, and career infrastructure to create a more cohesive and inclusive future of work.
In a world where the pace of change shows no sign of slowing, preparing talent is no longer enough. Connecting that talent to opportunity is what ultimately drives transformation.
Through their partnership, Nanaade and 3MTT are helping ensure that the next generation of digital professionals is not only trained for the future but fully equipped to step into it.
