A Collaborative Effort to Shape the Future of Nigeria’s Workforce
A Catalyst for Change
For thirteen consecutive years, Nestlé Nigeria has been at the forefront of youth empowerment, providing opportunities for young Nigerians to acquire critical technical skills. The Technical Training Program, a joint venture with the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration (SEM), has proven to be a catalyst for change, transforming lives and shaping the future of Nigeria’s workforce.
A Global Perspective, Local Impact
Aligned with Nestlé’s global Needs YOUth initiative, the program aims to enhance the employability of young Nigerians by offering specialized training in Mechanical, Electrical, and Automation Engineering. The Agbara training center, a hub of innovation and learning, equips participants with the necessary skills to excel in the engineering field.
Beyond Technical Expertise
The program extends beyond technical training, providing participants with invaluable global exposure. Top performers are selected for apprenticeships in Switzerland, where they gain firsthand experience in international best practices and immerse themselves in a different culture. This unique opportunity broadens their horizons, fosters intercultural understanding, and equips them with a competitive edge in the global job market.
A Testament to Success
Dolapo Adedoyin Okunola, a program graduate, exemplifies the transformative power of this initiative. Her participation in impactful projects and cultural exchange has instilled in her confidence, resilience, and a strong foundation for a successful career.
A Shared Vision for a Brighter Future
Both Nestlé and the Swiss Consulate are committed to creating a positive impact on Nigerian society. By investing in the youth, they are not only addressing the country’s skill gap but also fostering a skilled workforce that can drive economic growth and innovation.
A Model for Global Collaboration
The partnership between Nestlé and the Swiss Consulate underscores the potential of international collaboration to address global challenges. By sharing expertise and resources, they are empowering young people to become agents of change and contribute to a sustainable future.
A Call to Action
As the program continues to thrive, it serves as an inspiration to other organizations to invest in youth development. By providing opportunities for skill development and employment, we can empower young people to reach their full potential and build a brighter future for all.
