Dangote Foundation 2022 ADF-VDMA Technical Training Programme for Young Nigerians.
The Aliko Dangote Foundation collaborates with the VDMA (Mechanical Engineering Industry Association) and its Foundation for Young Talent in Mechanical Engineering (Nachwuchsstiftung Maschinenbau gGmbH – NWS) in the Aliko Dangote Foundation-VDMA relationship.
The idea for establishing a joint vocational skills training program emerged from a shared vision of how to address Nigeria’s severe shortage of vocational skills in the manufacturing sector.
For many years, both of these organizations have promoted dual-track technical and vocational training and education.
Furthermore, improving the Nigerian-German relationship between companies and related institutions is a critical subject of concern.
The Dangote Academy’s training centre offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance for institutionalized networking and experience sharing.
The course programme focuses on three core disciplines:
• Short Courses Mechanical Programme
• Short Courses Electrical Programme
• Full Trade Vocational Training Mechanical Programme
It consists of:
– seven short courses for advanced training which last between 2 and 4 weeks. and
– a 30-months professional, dual full trade vocational training course
About Dangote

The Dangote Academy, as well as prominent institutions in Nigeria and overseas.
The Dangote Academy was founded in 2010 to give technical and management training to Dangote employees and others interested in joining the company.
