In line with our commitment to youth empowerment, Nigerian Bottling Company Limited (NBC) has successfully deployed #YouthEmpowered across various states of the federation that include: Lagos, Oyo, Edo, Kano, Kaduna, Rivers, Enugu, Abeokuta and Calabar and will ensure the train moves across the states yet to be visited. This will ensure the youth can discover themselves, understand their strengths and developmental opportunities, as well as provide them with a platform for meaning interaction with business leaders and mentors.

Participants are trained with an extensive curriculum at the live workshops which run for 3 days. Topics covered range from project and time management to business planning, negotiation, financial literacy skills, communication and sales skills and so on.

In Nigeria, over 4,500 people have attended the live workshops with more than 9,000 registered on the Digital Hub.
