The Technical Training Program was inaugurated in 2011 with the aim to bridge the technical skills gap by equipping youth with the required expertise to support industrialization.
The 18-month intensive vocational training, comprising machining, mechanical fitting operations, electrical operations, instrumentation operations and automation culminates in the prestigious London City and Guilds technical certification.
Nestl� Nigeria recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of her Technical Training Program. Over 140 students have benefitted from the program since inception with over 90% of them directly employed by Nestl� Nigeria. The ceremony coincided with the graduation of the 5th batch of trainees from the Agbara Center.
The top five graduates of each batch undergo a further three-month internship program at a Nestl� factory in Switzerland, sponsored by the Swiss Government.
