Job Skills Training
Building Skills for a Sustainable Future
We offer women market-based skills training so they can find employment or start their own businesses. Our goals are to strengthen women’s existing skills and to introduce new skills in traditional and non-traditional fields so women can access future employment opportunities. Economic self-sufficiency is a critical step for women to take their rightful place in the lives of their families and communities.
Examples of skills training include:
- Silversmithing
- Horticulture
- Carpentry
- Beekeeping
- Electrical Repair
- Food Processing
- Beauty Parlor Training
Cultivating Local Talent Takes Many Forms:
- Producing durable market baskets in Rwanda
- Building greenhouses and teaching women how to plant, cultivate and sell flowers and vegetables in their local markets in Kosovo
- Training and employing women in rural Afghanistan through a cooperative bakery
- Forming a cooperative in Nigeria to create batik materials
- Teaching embroidery and jewelry making in Afghanistan
