SEVICS is an organization dedicated to training and educating emerging leaders in Nigeria and across the continent. Leaders are necessary for every community. To survive, every society must create systems that groom the next generation of leaders. In most Afrakan countries, the largest system that grooms the next generation of leaders is the University System. That has not worked so well because that system is dominated by people who have not experienced the knowledge they share. Hence, it is a lot of theoretical learning out there. In contrast, the most successful people learned from individuals who have proven knowledge, and that leaves a gap that can only be filled by more deliberate efforts at practice-based, experiential learning opportunities like the Emerging Leaders Regional Program. The Emerging Leaders Regional Program is a training opportunity for young Africans who reside and wish to contribute to the greatness of their region. The program has two components:

Training in designated regional centers, and Practice-based learning in host organizations.

Training focuses on leadership, innovation, international-mindedness, and digital technologies. Trainings happen virtually or in a chosen site, typically a University Campus. Within a two weeks period, participants will be exposed to various mentors who will be on-site as well as those who can join virtually. Via a robust interaction, mentoring, and co-mentoring experience, the program will create a continuous learning platform for young professionals getting into and engaged in the African workspace.

Practice-based learning will take place in host organizations which may be private businesses or nonprofits working within the region. They will absorb the participants into their workforce and assign important roles to them. This will assist them to contribute to the development of the organizations as well as learn about administration and leadership from the organizations.

The overall goal of the project is to coordinate leadership and growth potentials within Africa for enhanced community development, civic engagement, tourism and entrepreneurship.
