Skill acquisition program focused on engaging young adults in getting skilled
“ Catch Them Young” is our Skill Acquisition Program that focuses on engaging children and young adults in skills of their choosing. Our intention is to catch these talented young kids, help nourish and groom their gifts.
While it is hard being an under-privilege kids in a third world country, it can also very much be harder to be gainfully employed after graduation in such country.
Especially in 3rd world countries, while schooling may not assure getting employed, acquiring a skill will surely do.

THE SHACKLE OF POVERTY
While it is hard being an under-privilege kid in a third world country, it can also very much be harder to be gainfully employed after graduation in such country.
These are some of the skills we already have engaged our participants in and some we intend to equip the students with even while they are attending western education
- Photography
- Cinematography
- Graphics & web design
- Fashion Design
- Bakery
- Hairdressing and Make-up
- Furniture & upholsteries
BREAKING THE SHACKLE
With your help and involvement, these
- children will be better equipped with tools to navigate life as they become full adults.
- children will have access to funds/scholarship that will help them acquire the skills of their choosing for the duration of their apprenticeship.
- children will have the opportunity to be placed with outstanding and experienced facilitators through the guidance of our skill acquisition team. This will enable each child to be met at the point of his/her needs.

- All Images on Skills
- A child or young adult must be
- at 14 years or older
- inclined to learn a skill
- from low-income home
- performing academically well
- children in public or low-cost schools
- Currently in school
- Currently we have 31 st
- Currently we have 10 student-apprentices enrolled in various skills after been rigorously screened using their inclination, current academic and family income as determinants. These participants are in at least 14years or older.
- For us to accurately and objectively measure our program’s effectiveness, we have employed the use of some performance indicators/ monitoring tools.
- udent-participants enrolled in various classes after been rigorously screened using their current academic and family income as determinants. These participants are in classes ranging from kindergarten to secondary school/high school.
- For us to accurately and objectively measure our program’s effectiveness, we have employed the use of some performance indicators/ monitoring tools.
- Attendance: Attendance trend is monitored by keeping a log with the skill facilitator. This log must be signed by the student -apprentice(s) in the presence of their facilitator at the beginning and end of each day of attendance. Our representatives pay randomized visits equip with their own log which student apprentice and facilitator will sign.
- Attendance percentage: Student apprentice is expected to attend workshop 3 times a week. We calculate the percentage of attendance by totaling the number of days an apprentice actually showed up for learning in a month and then divide it by the expected total number of days he/she is supposed to show up in a month. Then we multiply the fraction by 100%. Our participant is expected to be at the workshop at least 90% of times in a month.
- Performance Records: A detailed apprentice performances are monitored through the accurate and proper documentation of their work-participation, return demonstrations at each stage of learning and sample of work done or level of skill accomplished by the apprentice in each stage of learning
- Performance Variance: Before enrolling, our Skill Acquisition team would meet with facilitators and go through their scheme of work, expected level of accomplishment in each stage of learning. An apprentice’s(s) actual level of accomplishment(s) at each stage of learning is then compared with expected level of accomplishment(s). A variance can be positive or negative. A positive variance is when the student apprentice meets or exceed standard expectation. A negative variance is when it is otherwise.
- Prior to enrolling a child in our “Catch Them Young” Program, we ensure the child’s family is involved from the onset. We know that for an all-round effectiveness the child’s parents/guardians’ involvement is paramount.
- Engaging a child in a skill gives a family hope of a better and more secured future for such child(ren). For this reason, we ensure that the parents/guardians’ of our student-apprentices are also sensitized about the importance of having their children/wards stay enrolled in the program.
- We get feed back through individual interviews and general meetings about how having their children/wards enrolled in our program is impacting their homes.
