Up Skill Youth Edition (Form Four Leavers).

 On Wednesday, January 18, 2023, Makongo Computer College in Mukuru Kwa Reuben invited me to lead a session on personal branding, goal setting and business ideas. There were 20 youth, mostly female, who recently sat for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams in November - December 2022. 

Every year, many students take the national examinations, but the reality is that not all of them are accepted into the next level of education, whether it be a university, college, or TVET institution, for a variety of reasons, including poorer grades and financial constraints. 

The Gap

 Many young people are left across the street after completing secondary school education with no idea of what they can do or even what career options they can take. I'm a Mission-driven Freelance Tutor and Facilitator.

Less focus is placed on the 21st century in the normal educational system, and I want to close this gap by mentoring young people who will be both street savvy and academically astute.

Quotes; 

 "Even if you graduate from high school, learning never ends. Every day, we learn from a variety of sources that either confirms, updates, or disprove the knowledge we already have." - Wilson Masaka, Youth Advocate and Social Entrepreneur 


 "Being a lifelong learner and mastering the skill of self-learning (SL) are requirements for everyone who wants to get better at what they do." - Wilson Masaka, Youth Advocate and Social Entrepreneur 

 The Target 

 By the end of December 2023, I hope to have trained at least 1000 young people. Never hesitate to send me an invitation for a quote if you require a youth trainer or facilitator. I'm an expert in graphic design, blogging, creative writing, photography, social media, training trainers, facilitation, and the production of digital content, among other things. 

 Here are some pictures from the session held yesterday at Makongo College at Mukuru Kwa Reuben.
