As a result…

As a result… Training post-secondary students and members of staff on computers has been a great experience for me, and an eye-opener on the great potential people posses in them, if only IT WAS UNLOCKED…am almost convinced that lack of efficiency is not lack of skill, but the presence of it, but in a LOCKED STATE, if only IT WOULD BE UNLOCKED. The students have demonstrated a great deal of potential in their reception of the training, and resultant application of the skills acquired. Just to highlight afew,

1. By use of MS Excel skills, one team of students are developing a work plan project for the village to help in tracking staff working schedules, and calculate salaries based on these schedules, especially for the casual workers.


2. Another team is working on a project that will help the Hotcourses primary school teachers do their exams analysis and report cards faster and more efficiently, again, by use of MS Excel skills learnt in class.


3. Yet another team is working on a solution to manage stock at the Village store and for the Purchasing Officers.


4. A team of 5 have already joined the TOT(Training of Trainers) programme, and have been sharpening their training skills by conducting dummy trainings.These will help in advancing training to the rest of the village.

This has been as a result of successfully completing their computer training, and the students are now applying their knowledge to offer solutions to the village. Talk about giving back to the village. The daily running of the village will drastically become efficient, thanks to these young minds!!!
