Once submitted, the system automatically conducts an Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria Check to determine eligibility.

Those who meet the criteria are advanced to the next phase, while ineligible candidates receive a regret notification.

Step 2: Computer-based test (CBT) with a 70% cut-off score

Eligible applicants are then scheduled for a Computer-Based Aptitude Test. The test is designed to assess cognitive and analytical skills, with a strict cut-off score set at 70%.

Candidates who pass the CBT are invited to proceed to the video submission stage. Those who fall short of the benchmark are notified via email of their unsuccessful attempt.

Step 3: Video submission for personal introduction

In the third stage, applicants must upload a 60-second video introducing themselves.

This video as a personal pitch and is evaluated for clarity, confidence, and communication skills.

Successful submissions lead candidates to the psychometric testing phase, while unsuccessful ones receive a regret notification.

Step 4: Psychometric test and baseline data collection

Candidates who successfully navigate all four prior stages are formally inducted into the NJFP talent pool.

This final onboarding marks their eligibility for placement into internship roles that offer a monthly stipend of ₦150,000.

This rigorous five-step process reflects the government’s commitment to transparency and merit-based selection in its youth empowerment initiatives.
