We have been implementing Lifeskills and employability curriculum within course one , course two and three programs. The curriculum is meant to equip our graduates with the soft-skills required in the work place. These skills are very important for the graduates whose particular backgrounds have been in the informal settlements where such valuable virtues lack. For example we train on Work ethics, job application and preparation,how to prepare for an interview , learning to keep professional distance in work place, working in teams, taking initiative, communication and follow ups, relating well with colleagues in the work environment, and phone etiquette.
To equip the trainers who deliver the IYF curriculum,we are hosting a life-skills workshop from the 14th to 18th February 2011 at the Go Down art center. This workshop that will involve all the trainers and staff members will be facilitated by Learn For Work team from Holland. Tentatively we shall be joined by Sasol team from Kitui on the same training dates subject to their confirmation.
