Training Facilitator: Entrepreneurship & Soft Skills
Thika, Kiambu, Kenya
I was a Training Facilitator with Macheo in their Youth Employability Program, a dynamic initiative impacting over 200 young individuals across nine cohorts. Within this program, I delivered comprehensive soft skills training aimed at enhancing essential qualities such as self-awareness, effective communication, emotional intelligence, goal setting, personal branding, stress management, decision-making, negotiation, and leadership abilities. The objective was clear: not just job acquisition, but the sustainable growth and success of these youths in their chosen careers. Simultaneously, in entrepreneurship, I guided the participants through the process of generating business ideas, screening concepts, and developing a fundable business plan. The entrepreneurship training was marked by its hands-on, practical nature, including the use of a business game to reinforce crucial business skills learned during the program.
