Life Skills!
Youth from the vulnerable communities often lack the‘soft’ skills that are required to access and retain jobs in both the formal and non-formal sectors. Further still, the education system in Uganda doesn’t priorities the teaching of ‘soft’ skills.
To better prepare our beneficiary for life, and the job market, the project trains youth in life skills. Some of the topics covered are;
-
Emotional intelligence
-
Who am I really
-
Body talk; Me Myself and I
-
What work is work?
-
Me and my ideal job
-
Unhealthy work Workplace ethics
-
Job searching and job interviews
