About the Aliko Dangote Foundation-VDMA.

The Aliko Dangote Foundation-VDMA partnership involves the collaboration between the Aliko Dangote Foundation, the VDMA (Mechanical Engineering Industry Association) and its Foundation for Young Talent in Mechanical Engineering (Nachwuchsstiftung Maschinenbau gGmbH – NWS).

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 centre at the Dangote Academy provides a unique opportunity for an institutionalized get-together and experience exchange.
