LEAP Africa invites applications for the LEAP Young Professional Development Programme for Emerging Leaders in Nigeria in 2022.
The Young Professional Development Programme is a project aimed at raising emerging leaders in the development sector in Africa. It is designed to equip fresh graduates with the right knowledge, skills, tools and essential training needed to accelerate their career development, professional potential and opportunities for global exposure. In the end, the full potential of the individual is attained.
This programme is one of LEAP Africa’s premier innovations, and it is solely targeted at refining the talents of young graduates. It is a well structured 12 months post-NYSC on-the-job training experience, with hands-on supervisory mentorship that builds the young graduate’s key strengths, equipping them with the capacity to create positive and lasting impact in communities across Africa.
