<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Last year Huawei sponsored a short 1-month basic IT training course for disadvantaged form 4 leavers, known as Digital Skills for Life, which was 50% soft/life skills
along with the IT course (and also mentors, study trips etc). It is more than “how to use a computer/internet” and must give some skills that could lead to employment (from secretarial/office jobs to self-employment, hardware repair/sales etc). More info:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This year, before we start the next phase of the project, we’re trying to better understand the general issue and market, i.e. barriers holding back such students
from attending such courses, what kind of courses are out there, whether they meet identified job needs, and whether such graduates can get jobs/be entrepreneurs or not etc.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">As part of this research we are talking to various training institutes/centers (initially around Nairobi), including government-backed ones. We’re not right now
selecting any partners, just trying to better understand the issues, challenges and possible interventions.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Can anyone recommend any others (beyond the below list) that we should talk to?.. criteria is fairly simple: should offer short courses (1-3 months) and should be
open to those without any ICT skills at all, and without any/very limited academic qualifications.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
