Like their counter parts in schools and community centres who normally participate in outdoor annual football events and outreaches for social development,vocational training candidates have developed their own share of indoor annual outreach event dubbed as Mrembo Economic Empowerment Trade fair (M.E.E.T) geared towards bringing together former graduates of football for social change who are also graduates of Hair and beauty , pastry and baking courses to showcase their gained employability skills to the invited guests including existing and potential employers from established hair and beauty shops and restaurants. A total of 7 graduates of Hair and Beauty and 6 graduates of pastry and baking had an opportunity to showcase their employability skills including the combination of football based activities coupled with economic empowerment messages to the audience.Take a look at the MEET impact
