Government has donated 14 new computers to the library. Once these are up and running we will start a Level 2 training program. This is for students who have received their Level 1 certificate but want to take their training further.
All students will be expected to use the skills learnt at Level 1 to develop a business plan for a possible small business. Additional computer skills will also be learnt. This will be for the first 4 weeks.
These students will also learnt teaching and leadership skills so that the remaining 4 weeks can we spent tutoring Level 1 students. They will then receive their certificate.
