The Employability Training was held over a one month period with the aim of assisting the clients in becoming more employable as they are preparing to exit both prorgammes within the next three months. The clients were engaged in a series of training, in areas such as; searching and applying for jobs, how to produce well-written application, letters and resumes/CVs and how to prepare for an interview.
For the final session clients engaged in a mock interview that was conducted by four seasoned (4) Human Resource personnel from local businesses such as: – Four Seasons Resort, ANGLEC, St. James Medical School and Malliouhana Resort. This process allowed each client the opportunity to experience the interview process first hand.

Ms. Robin encouraged the clients to “take advantage of every opportunity and to positively develop and move forward in life” .
