Foundation Empowers Next Generation with Innovative Skills

The Francess Barbara Foundation is making waves with its innovative skills training programmes aimed at empowering young people with hands-on knowledge for future success.

By partnering with skilled professionals in various fields, the foundation is helping to bridge the gap between education and real-world job opportunities.

In recent months, the foundation has launched a series of hands-on workshops that teach valuable skills not typically covered in traditional schooling.

These programmes bring in experts—such as hairdressers, craft makers and beauty therapists—to share their knowledge and provide practical training.

“The goal is to equip young individuals with the skills they need to secure jobs and achieve financial independence,” says Francess Ebea, the founder.

She emphasised the programme’s importance. “Education is not just about what you learn in the classroom. It’s also about acquiring practical skills that can open doors to new opportunities.

“Our training programs are designed to give young people the tools they need to build successful careers and improve their lives.”

One recent workshop focused on beauty therapy, where local professionals taught participants about hairdressing, skincare, and makeup techniques.

The training not only provided valuable skills but also boosted participants’ confidence, giving them a sense of accomplishment and hope for the future.

“It’s amazing to see how these skills can transform lives,” says Francess. “When young people learn something new, it’s not just about the job they might get—it’s about the confidence they gain and the possibilities they see for their future.”

The foundation’s commitment to hands-on learning has made a noticeable impact. Participants have reported increased job prospects and improved self-esteem. Many have already started using their new skills to find employment or start their own small businesses.

In addition to these workshops, the foundation also offers mentorship and support to ensure that the skills learned are effectively applied.

“This ongoing guidance helps participants navigate their career paths and overcome any challenges they may face,” Ebea added.

She outlined their mission to empower the next generation by providing them with the skills and support they need to succeed. “By investing in their future, we’re helping to build a stronger, more capable workforce.”

Through these innovative training programmes, the Francess Barbara Foundation is making a significant difference in the lives of young people, helping them to unlock their full potential and achieve their dreams.
