Broadband servicing company, VDT Communications Limited,
has concluded the second batch of its graduate Modular Trainee Engineers’
programme, last weekend in Lagos, reports DigitalSENSE Business News.
Confirming this to DigitalSENSE Business News, the Manager,
Corporate Communications, Mr. David Ese, quoted the Managing Director and chief
executive officer, VDT Communications, Mr. Biodun Omoniyi, as saying that the
VDT Modular Trainee Engineers’ programme was necessitated by the need to
contribute the company’s quota as
part of its Corporate Social Responsibility
activity, “to reduce the teeming population of unemployed youths in our
country”.
Also Mr. Omoniyi said that having identified the
challenge, VDT decided to take the bull by the horn by initiating the modular
trainee engineers’ programme for fresh graduates in the country, stressing “Advertisement is run annually to get the fresh
graduates to apply for the programme."
According to him, there is a selection process
involving an assessment test and an interview, due to a large number of
applications usually received coupled with limited training facilities.
“The
successful candidates are then enrolled into the programme which last for one
year. The programme is completely free of all charges. Rather than charge the
trainees, the VDT pays all the candidates a stipend while undergoing the
training,” he explained.
Further, Omoniyi emphasized that the company even
goes beyond the training, by offering jobs to a number of successful trainees
depending on the available vacancies.
On the impact of the programme, Omoniyi said that already, VDT
has received success stories from other organizations, as some of the trainee
engineers have proved to be among the best considered for employment.
