Skills Training Opportunities at MES
The MES training centre currently provides a strong foundation in security, life skills, and computer literacy. However, MES recognises the need to expand their offerings to meet the evolving needs of the job market. Financial limitations currently restrict MES from offering a wider variety of accredited training programs, yet these programs are crucial for empowering our youth and adult beneficiaries with in-demand skills. That’s why we’re actively seeking seed funding to develop and deliver accredited training programs aligned with current market needs. These programs will equip our candidates with the skills and qualifications necessary to secure jobs and build successful careers.

Learn more about the project
MES’s vision extends beyond just training. The aim is to provide candidates with a clear “exit plan,” equipping them with the tools and resources they need to find employment or even launch their businesses. Recognising the importance of fostering an entrepreneurial spirit, they’re incorporating entrepreneurship training into their programs. This will empower individuals to diversify their income streams, reduce unemployment, and create new jobs within our communities.
