SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

In addressing the high youth unemployment rate in our country, we have made a decisive decision to ensure that skills development take a centre place in all our programs, as we partner with various key industry players in the private and public sectors.  In most cases, the youth that we deal with, come from the grassroots of our disadvantaged and marginalised communities. Others are already with institutions of higher learning, like TVET colleges and universities, but also in need of the necessary work experience and job shadowing to complete their most needed Work Integrated Learning (WIL) programmes. Whilst the visual arts, performing arts and sports students are participating in various competition activities, BOM focuses on gathering other various groups of students who are not necessarily featured as competing artists or athletes, but playing a supportive role towards the overall  success of the BOM events whilst receiving the most needed skills transfer opportunity within their area of study and emerging careers. The model encourages full participation of all our learners, including community participants.
