We believe in the impartation of essential skills into marginalized and
previously disadvantaged individuals. These skills will then assist them to
break free from systemic poverty and in the long run will change the minds and
hearts of people within the community where these individuals are residing.
Zoë Incubation centre will provide training courses to
these individuals living in Delft as well as to
the communities that are surrounding Delft.
The some of the training courses that will be provided are:
- Orientation Firstly, people will be provided
with a training programme that will revitalise their thinking;
- Developmental Courses Trainees will also receive training
in Arts & Crafts, Life Skills, HIV/Aids, Hygiene and Nutrition;
- Skills Training Trainees will then be taught
practical skills – from baking, to cooking, plumbing, bricklaying, farming, IT,
etc. – that they need to secure work;
- Practical Training Once the trainees have been taught
the theoretical skills, they will be provided with the opportunity to use those
skills in real life – the bakers will be placed in a bakery, the cooks in a
restaurant, etc., where they will be expected to practise their skills until
they are proficient.
To achieve this, Zoë has
established relationships with a number of large corporations where trainees
can be placed to obtain practical experience;
- Job placement Upon the completion of their
practical training, the trainees are ready for placement into the formal
economy. Zoë has established relationships with a number of recruiting agencies
through which trainees can be placed into formal job opportunities.
- Entrepreneurial Development Those individuals that have
successfully passed their practical training and shows entrepreneurial
potential can then proceed to the entrepreneurial development stage, where they
will be envisioned, trained and mentored until they can stand in their own
shoes as fully fledged entrepreneurs.
On achieving this, we are confident that the minds of the individuals
that are impacted will be unroped, they will start to see the potential that
was placed in them and they will start to further develop themselves as well as
start to impact other individuals that need to see that potential and gifts
were given to them as well.
Our aim is therefore to start o change a community from the inside out,
changing the thinking of the community one person at a time.
