Training of Trainers in Life Skills Delivery Methods

By Live Lover -

Background

NairoBits Trust has been in existence since 1999 and is registered as a Trust under the Laws of Kenya with the aim of youth empowerment. Its target focus area is the youth from the informal settlement areas of Nairobi which constitutes 60% of the total population estimated at 7 million. They are largely underprivileged in terms of the basic human needs including access to education and training with 50% to 70% of them living below the poverty line. The Trust envisages a situation where 70% of the urban informal settlement youths access information Communication technology (ICT) skills that would improve their employability and ability to enter the labour market.

The Trust equips the youths with knowledge in Web Design, IT skills, Creative Multimedia and Entrepreneurship to improve their opportunities in employment or venturing into Business. In addition, the Trust develops their character by inculcating in them the critical elements of personal confidence and self esteem and also train in life skills. NairoBits has over the years trained over 6000 youths who have in turn been able to secure employment in both formal and informal sectors, the success rate therefore can be considered to be at 90%.

Rationale
As the global and local environments evolve, the coping skills is required to survive change. NairoBits has had technical skills as the predominant focus of training thus far. However, it is no longer viable to only have technical skills in an increasingly interconnected world. Inter-dependence, cross ethnic and cross-cultural interactions are prevailing trends that will only strengthen with the increasing multimedia connectivity. As such, there is need for our youth to have the necessary life skills to effectively handle these interactions in order to survive.

NairoBits takes her clients seriously and therefore has to proactively give them tools to have the best chance of succeeding in life. Thus Nairobits put together a comprehensive, tailor-made life skills curriculum that put into consideration our targets’ background and the prevailing trends in the market.

While developing a curriculum was commendable, the curriculum is only as good as it is delivered to the intended recipients. Therefore, in 2011 Nairobiots organized a workshop to enhance the capacity of the trainers to deliver the same effectively. In 2012, we would like to focus on soft skills necessary to survive in the professional realm. This is the basis of this consultancy.

Scope of work

      i.        Understanding of NairoBits Mission, Vision and her target clients
     ii.        Review and understanding of the Market Survey and Training Needs Assessment Reports
    iii.        Develop TOT Workshop training materials focused on but not limited to:

    iv.        Preparation of a Training of Trainers program in line with the same
