With seasoned Trainers who took turned in teaching dedicated students, equipped the beneficiaries with necessary training while materials were provided to support the learning, under a very conducive working environment.
Catering which involved Baking of cakes in various forms (dessert, chocolate, red velvet, fruity, spongy, etc) with cakes decorations in butter icing, royal icing, fondant and designs. The training extended to pastries making in meatpie, doughnut, burger bread, egg roll, sausage and others. This permitted for low scale business set up for the beneficiaries to be self employed.
Leatherwork beneficiaries also had the privileged of making shoes, bags, belts and other leatherwork items. This training gave basic knowledge of leatherworking, which the beneficiaries have being certified. To compliment this effort and grow the knowledge, arrangement has been made for further training with the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Lagos State for all encompassing knowledge which kicks off in April 2016 for the beneficiaries.
