Where we work

We work on youth empowerment at nine training centres in five different countries.

In each country and at every centre, ambitious and passionate colleagues give what it takes to empower our youth. Each country director guides their teams and franchisees, and together they run our training centres.

At each training centre a country director guides their local team and franchisees. In addition to the vocational training, each skills centre has a variety of services on offer and is embedded in the local community.

Students can choose from 46 courses in different trades. See an overview of our courses here.
