The main aim of this project is to conduct vocational training courses for the most vulnerable, and unskilled high school and university graduates. Weintend to design a poverty focussed programme which will be realised through short term vocational trainnig on the production of detegents, hotel catering and pasteries.
The envisaged task demands expertise, efforts and money and to achieve the intended objective,the following methods will be used.
* Identification of the targeted groups i.e unemployed secondary and high school graduates; unemployed, unskilled university graduates and the young primary school leavers with no secondary school previledges.
*Training will involve both thoeries and practical work. The theoritical aspect will cover areas such as sales techniques, organisational and leadership skills, fund raising and basic communication skills.
The practicals will involve the production of detegents like powder, tablet, and liquid soaps, hotel catering which involves the production of yoghurt,ice cream, fruits drinks while pasteries will involve the production of pies, donaughts, cakes etc.
Each target group will consist of 20 volunteers. The training course content will be tailored to stimulate an entrepreneurial spirit and a panel of credible judges wll credit the training at certificate level. The body will approve the training materials, do quality control on delivery of training. Certification qualification will be accredited at the end of each complete training session. A report detailing the exercise and impacts will serve as a basis of replicability.
Background:
Poverty is a worldwide phenomenone. The changing economic and socio-political environment in cameroon has caused poverty to manifest itself in various forms; unemployment of university and high school graduates, has created a new category of poor people. Inequity in regional development, gender and sex discrimination are all manifest of poverty in cameroon. Poverty is becoming emdemic in cameroon. it prevent people from going to school and while state institutions demomstrate various constrains to fighting poverty, its also true that the government is not an end to poverty but only a means.
We the youths believes at a given economic climate, people and the youths in particular are urged to try out their entrepreneurial skills by creating their own businesses so that in the success of their venture, they will become self employed. Being in controln of their own income, they will be satisfied in paying themselves and that through them, others may experience the same satisfaction when the also gain employment and the chain continues. Our intention in this project is to train between 60 and 100 youths to become self employed from the different communities that make up our province.
