In addition, they will work on high-impact projects that address key business priorities and attend leadership labs focused on personal mastery, team leadership, and enterprise leadership.
The Dangote Cement Management Trainee Programme offers benefits such as training and development opportunities, private health insurance, a pension plan, and paid time off. The company described the initiative as “a prestigious programme that combines the rigor of an MBA with the practical immersion of a business rotation scheme.”
