TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT CENTER (TDC)
Since its beginning, LP4Y has developed TDCs : sustainable solutions for excluded Youth from rural areas.
This soft skill training center has welcomed and trained already 100 Youth coming from skilling programs like Vocational Training Programs (VTPs) or other organisms (livelihood, other NGOs, associations...), helped them in developing professional grooming and employability skills (communication skills, organization and management, time management, business mindset, teamwork, citizenship…). The final objective is to help them to find a stable and decent job (by guiding them, without placement).
This project uses a hands-on pedagogy in social and professional integration of Youth based on the 13 years experience of Life Project 4 Youth Foundation, LP4Y, specialized in integration of excluded Youth.
In a team, the Youth create and develop micro-companies in order to develop skills, gain self-esteem and become actors of their life.
