Skills Development

FOLLOW WHATSAPP CHANNEL FOR RECENT UPDATES

In line with the commitment to pro-poor development, the City’s Skills Development programme is designed to address inequality, poverty and socio-economic exclusion by providing meaningful opportunities for empowerment. The programme focuses on equipping targeted beneficiaries with both soft skills and technical skills, enabling individuals to become employable, self-reliant, or to start their own small businesses.

Beneficiaries are continuously enrolled in a wide range of training initiatives offered across the City. These include, but are not limited to: Plumbing, Basic Baking, Basic Sewing, Arts and Crafts, Beading, Tie-and-Dye, Generic Management, Jewellery Making, Basic First Aid, and Computer Training.

The City plays a vital role in supporting skills development by providing skills centres where beneficiaries can access training programmes. Accredited training providers secure funding independently and utilise City-owned facilities to deliver skills development programmes at no cost to beneficiaries, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity.
