The technical training program prepares youth to access economic opportunities either through employment or the creation of their own enterprise with the
\nacquired skills.<\/p>\n

This is important in view of the statistics showing that over 13.9 million youths are either unemployed, in unstable employment or underemployed. I am very happy to announce to you today, that all graduates of this batch have been employed by Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria! So, you see, this initiative is not only good for the individuals who participate and for their families and communities, but also good for our company; a Win-Win-Win!
