It has been a great rollercoaster  ride for 19 years old Mary who has just joined the ‘VAP Achievers’ club after having undergone all VAP’s programs right from the foundations of VAP’s programs, football based life skills and into Employment and Entrepreneurship program where she focused on a catering course and eventually graduated and finally got a job placement with PrideInn Hotel based in westlands part of Nairobi. The PrideInn hotels consist of 3 brands namely: PrideInn Express, PrideInn Business and PrideInn Plus. “Am happy that football is a life changing tool for both on and off the field.” Said Mary who also featured in the last ‘Wasichana Wacheze’ football league 3rd edition in 2017

Business,Marketing and Research Training

As they are gearing up to make an exit of their vocational training course, the first cohort of the 2018 were engaged into a 10 days intensive business training and research of their respective courses. Led by experienced business training professionals, the participants were taken through various topics surrounding business set up, savings, budgeting, customer relationship tips, book keeping, and how to access small loans etc. Participants were also trained on job search and job retention skills.At the end of the training,each participant would be expected to draft and present a business plan to a panel of judges comprised of different professionals who would go through the proposals and award the best plans with some capital funds to start  up their respective businesses.
