Certifying Skills in Preparation for Work
Research has shown that there exists a relationship between work readiness and employment. Work readiness programmes entail the bridging of the gap between theory and practice by providing foundational skills necessary for an individual for the job market. The programmes are meant to solve the challenge of work unpreparedness for the labour market thereby reduces chances of unemployment among the youths.
Work Readiness
Work readiness is in the form of Internship, Traineeship and Apprenticeship, and is necessary for young graduates of Vocational Training Centres, Tertiary Colleges and Benefi-ciaries of Youth Empowerment Programs by providing opportunities to practice in order to orient themselves to the world of work. Due to the fact that Internship, Traineeship andApprenticeship focus on providing trainees with real-life work experience, cohorts of interns and apprentices are often taken by various organisations for a period ranging from 3-6 months to practice and to orient themselves to the tasks of the future job market.
Skills Certification
Skill Certification through assessment and testing is a systematic way of evaluating the skills of practitioners of a craft / trade or profession to ascertain competencies possessed in a given occupation and forms the basis for a credentialing program. Effective Work Readiness & Skill Certification program is therefore a critical enabler of interventions that are targeted at preparing and linking skilled and certified professionals for employment or to start and run their own business.
