Speaking on the initiative, the Managing Director of Johnvents Industries Limited, Caroline Omotoso said “we believe that exposure is one of the most powerful investments an organisation can make in the next generation. When a young girl walks through a factory floor and sees what is possible, something changes in her.”
She stated further that the company decided to invest in young individuals through trainings, seminars and workshops.
Speaking on the theme of the programme “Gain to Give” Omotoso stressed the need for exposure, mentorship and training for young individuals.
She also revealed the company’s intention to expand the school engagement component of the programme in subsequent years.
