Vecchia Romagna 1820 Partners with Lagos State to Empower Youth Through Vocational Training

Vecchia Romagna (VR) 1820, a leading Italian brandy, has reinforced its commitment to youth empowerment by partnering with the Lagos State Government for the third consecutive year. This collaboration supports grassroots vocational training initiatives, equipping young Nigerians with essential skills for sustainable careers.

As part of its investment in skill development, VR 1820 sponsors the Project LOUD (Lagos of Our Dream) initiative, a youth empowerment program launched by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. At the latest graduation ceremony in Lagos, the brand donated operational toolkits to selected mixology graduates, enabling them to launch their careers. Additionally, VR 1820 provides ongoing resources to support the program’s three-month training sessions.

Governor Sanwo-Olu has prioritized job creation for Lagos’ 10-million-strong youth population, addressing Nigeria’s broader unemployment challenge. VR 1820’s involvement aligns with this vision by fostering career opportunities in mixology, fashion design, shoemaking, and other trades.

Project LOUD serves as a crucial initiative in tackling youth unemployment, with VR 1820 playing a pivotal role in expanding its reach and impact. This partnership underscores the brand’s commitment to driving meaningful change and economic empowerment in Lagos.
