Vocational & Skills Training

Providing alternative education and career pathways for youth to become self-sufficient.

Alternative Education Programs (AEP)

Pathways to Independence

There is a strong need for alternative education programs, such as skills or vocational training for those that drop out at secondary-school-age level. Brydges Centre Skills Training Project provides vocational skills training and internship placement for out-of-school youth and as an exit strategy for our children who fail to secure opportunities to join mainstream colleges and universities.

We believe that talent and skills development is key in ensuring that the youth become self-sufficient. We have also introduced entrepreneurship training and seed funding to selected and viable business plans presented by the trainees.
