NYOTA Project officers participated in the Training of Trainers (ToT) and Roster Management Training held at ACK St. Thomas, Kilifi Town, as preparations continue for the rollout of Socio-Emotional Skills Development (SESD) training.
The session equipped the Trainers of Trainers (ToTs) with essential knowledge and practical guidance on the NYOTA Project, beneficiary management, effective delivery of the SESD curriculum, appropriate teaching methodologies, classroom coordination and other key implementation requirements.
The training also emphasised the importance of creating an inclusive, engaging and supportive learning environment that responds to the diverse needs of beneficiaries and promotes meaningful participation throughout the SESD training.
The ToTs will play a critical role in supporting the effective delivery of the SESD curriculum. They will facilitate learning, guide beneficiaries through the training content and support an environment that promotes participation, professionalism, discipline and the development of socio-emotional and workplace-readiness skills.
Following successful completion of the SESD component, the beneficiaries will progress to the On-the-Job Experience (OJE) component, where they will gain practical workplace experience in their selected skills areas. OJE placements will be undertaken with participating employers and Master Craftsmen, providing beneficiaries with opportunities for hands-on learning, mentorship and skills transfer in real work environments.
Through this structured pathway, from classroom-based SESD training to practical workplace experience, the Project is supporting young people to build the confidence, resilience, workplace readiness and practical skills needed to participate productively in Kenya’s labour market and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
