Purple Skills Klinic Foundation by Douglas Lwanga has come at the right time. When youths in this country have either dropped out of school because of lack of tuition or due to the pandemic, this opportunity presents a new hope through direct mentorship and training.
Lwanga expressed his aim of teaching the youth how to fish so that they can get food forever, rather than giving them fish. He says the project is here to solve unemployment, the country’s original burden. The Purple Skills Klinic Foundation shall be executed in five steps namely;
Skills Training Workshops
The Skills Klinic Foundation shall organize skilling workshops bringing together resource persons who will mentor youth in various Skills disciplines. All our workshops shall be free of charge for the targeted youth.
Internships placements
The Skills Klinic Foundation shall work in conjunction with the resource persons to identify and offer internship placements for the trainees. Internship placements will allow trainees to practice their skills in a work environment gaining work experience (Workshops, farms Etc)
Partnerships with Vocational Institutions
The Skills Klinic shall enter into partnerships with vocational institutions that shall offer bursaries for the Skills Klinic Trainees at no cost. This will help trainees further their Skills Education.
Capital to the trained youth
At the end of the Training we shall organize the youth in groups and lobby for capital inform of machinery that they can use to put skills into practice.
Career Guidance (Secondary students/ University students)
This is part of the schools educational program where a Skills Klinic Foundation officer goes out to a school/university and conducts career guidance, to assist learners in career decision making.
