Wow!
It's a big one, the Aliko Dangote Foundation is currently hosting a candidates’
training program
The idea of establishing a shared Vocational Skills Training
Programme arose from a shared vision about addressing the serious deficit in
vocational skills required in the manufacturing sector in Nigeria.
These organizations have both been involved in promoting dual-track
technical and vocational training and education for many years. In addition to
that, the enhancement of the Nigerian-German relationship between companies and
related institutions is another key matter of importance. The training center
at the Dangote Academy provides a unique opportunity for an institutionalized
get-together and experience exchange.
