The Chief Executive Officer's Welcome Remark

You are welcome to the Youth Empowerment Consortium-YEC, Established on February 15, 2017. The Youth Empowerment Consortium-YEC envisions a transformed Africa by 2035.

In the book: Good to Great, Professor Jim Collins and his research team observed that to take an organisation from a good status to greatness requires disciplined people, disciplined thinking, and disciplined placement and action in that order.

Our programs open doors for young leaders from all backgrounds to maximize their full potentials.
