Dangote Cement Plc has commenced the training of its newly engaged managers while raising its capacity.
The new managers, who were inaugurated recently at the Dangote Academy, Ikeja, Lagos, are now trained under a new scheme, Management Trainees Programme.
The Group Managing Director, Dangote Cement Plc, Mr. Joseph Makoju, said the management scheme was to sustain the company’s exponential growth, competitiveness and market leadership.
He noted that the company was committed to attracting top talents into the business, for current and future needs.
Addressing the trainee managers, Makoju said, “The fact that you are sitting here today among the top 20 candidates selected for the pilot scheme, out of over 16,000 interested applicants, speaks volume of your quality and expected potential as future business leaders.”
He told the management trainees, who are expected to spend 18 months before being absorbed that the management of Dangote Cement has high expectations of them in many areas.
The Academy runs Graduate Engineer Trainee Scheme, Junior Technicians’ Scheme, Management Skills and Leadership training scheme, and it recently inaugurated 100 new students under the JTS.
The academy has trained and employed over 700 engineers and technicians between 2011 and 2018.
