Work Readiness Program

Are you currently not enrolled in secondary or higher education? Are you ready to build your personal leadership and you career? Are you ready to contribute your skills to the community? If yes, then you may be ready for G-Youth’s Work Readiness Program.

What is the Work Readiness Program?

The Work Readiness Program (WRP) is G-Youth's primary activity for out-of-school youth.  The goal of the WRP is to build the confidence and skills of Garissan youth to set work and career goals and be proactive in pursuing those goals.  Simply put, the WRP seeks to shift the mindset and behavior of youth from a mindset of “I can’t” to “I can” and give youth the skills to be successful in their career planning and job hunting/creation efforts.

How does it Work?

The Work Readiness Training program comprises of:

     1. Personal Leadership Development

     2. Career Planning

     3. Skills for Work Success

     4. Practical Work Internships

     5. Basic Computer Training

The Career Development Training builds your personal leadership, career planning, and work skills. Entrepreneurship Training continues to build your leadership by asking you to creatively develop ideas into businesses in the formal and informal sectors. Practical Work Internships give you a chance to put your skills into practice and build your experience.
