Aims of employment skills Training

The skills training programme recognises that one of the reasons people are unemployed is because they lack the skills required by employers or business. The project responds to this need by offering training, coaching and support to individuals and community groups in key employment skills to make them attractive to employers and to develop the capability to compete in the job market.
We work with a network of independent trainers, business consultants, career and employment advisors and volunteers who help to deliver training, support and publicity to beneficiaries. We also work with community leaders, faith groups and other charities to mobilise participants and jointly deliver and coordinate the training activities.

We create a database of beneficiaries and provide reporting to our funding partners of project outcomes and impact of the training. Training targets people who are unemployed and inactive to improve their status and capability to take advantage of opportunities. With newly developed and improved skills the beneficiaries will be more confident and competitive in the job market, standing a chance of finding work. This will improve their socio-economic welfare and that of immediate families but also indirectly impact on their neighbours and community as well.
The need for skills development and training is ever-present and growing in society. Statistics demonstrate the need to reduce unemployment is spread across all age groups, gender and communities.
