Career Counselling
With an eye for the future and with the need for a responsible choice about which career path(s) to follow, Career Counselling services that will complement similar services that may be available in respective local schools will be arranged from time to time. Also periodic lectures about career opportunities will be organised to educate our participants even as efforts will be made to ensure that appropriate publications on career options are made available to them.
Mentoring
This is aimed at ensuring the personal development of young adults by encouraging them to interface with experienced and successful professionals especially in area of the career paths they may desire to pursue. Such a mentor, often from the local community, will serve as a role model to guide and encourage the youngsters to succeed. However, every mentoring opportunity is strictly via the organisation any youngsters are never unduly exposed to unsupervised instruction from anyone external to the organisation
