Young Directors Governance Course (YDGC)

Young Director Governce Course (YDGC)

Young Directors Forum (YDF) of the Chartered Institute of Directors (CIoD) Nigeria is a network of young, talented and up-coming board leaders who serve as executive or non-executive directors in small and big firms across sectors of the Nigerian economy. These young directors are keen knowledge seekers who are interested in taking advantage of the CIoD Nigeria platform to build capacities in corporate governance skills, practices, as well as taking advantage of access to free mentorship services, while creating strong peer networks that add value in the course of discharging their roles and responsibilities as directors. Ultimately, they are groomed to become CIoD Chartered Directors who give back to the society by mentoring others and supporting the growth of CIoD Nigeria.

However, in preparing them for a bigger role and possible upgrade, CIoD Nigeria has structured a modular course which will speak to their needs.
