The Centre offers a range of
Skills classes for 15 -20 year old students. These are
students who are unable, for a variety of reasons, to continue with
their education after Grade 9.
Our aim is to give these
students basic skills which they can then use to obtain employment
within the community. The range at the moment is small, as we
do not have the facilities or staff to expand.
GETS is maintaining the
classes, Sewing, Cooking, Tie and Dye, English and Maths, which were run at the Centre prior to our takeover.
We have now added
Life Skills, using a textbook
called “Healthy Relationships for a Better Future” which
is produced by UNICEF together with The Gambia National Youth
Council.
Sunrise Centre is registered with the National Training Association so we can provide officially
recognised qualifications for our students - similar to NVQ in the
UK.
Students asked if we could help them to find work experience as part of their courses.
This has been done for the cookery and sewing classes and all Year 3 students undertake work experience at restaurants, hotels
and dress-makers in the Senegambia
region. Many of our students are offered permanent employment as a
result of these work placements. In addition, we have also employed
some of our graduating students as assistants to help the
teachers in our nursery, lower basic and skills classrooms.
A Bantaba has being built
to give the students a shady area for practical work away from the
classrooms. This has been generously funded by a GETS member.
If you would like to help support the Skills students, please
contact us for details.
