About the NYSC Programme
As it's corporate social responsibility to Nigerian Youths, the Governing Board, Institute of Safety Professionals of Nigeria, ISPON, in November 2023, approved 50% discount to serving NYSC members who are interested in enrolling for General HSE and Supervision HSE (Level Three) Courses to qualify them to apply for Individual Graduate Membership Grade of "Registered Safety Professionals".
This offer was prompted by the need for their employability and career enhancement in the public and private sectors of Nigeria's economy. Also, to save them from wasting time and money patronising quacks engaging them at their orientation camps and offering them various cheap and fake safety certifications, under the guise of being accredited by ISPON.
