Kids trained so far: 540

Description:

We raise money to continue to put the student through the computer training course.

About the training course:

Essential Computer Skills

The kids will be completing an 8-week ‘Essential Computer Skills’ training course. Classes start in late June 2016 and will have 10 kids per class.

Advanced Professional Certification

10 especially promising kids will be chosen from the 100 kids to complete an advanced professional training course to master specific software (i.e. Photoshop, AutoCad, 3D, etc). The advanced training requires the kids to complete the internationally recognised International Computer Driving License (ICDL) course and exam. Obtaining the certification gives them a greater chance of finding a job when they enter the job force in a few years.
