R.O.L.E. Foundations Women’s Vocational Skills Education Program is well underway.
On the 14th April, 2008, R.O.L.E. Foundation has commenced a new term at its teaching faculty, at Nusa Dua. There are three grades in the Vocational Skills Education Program. The primary aim of this program is to locate and train up illiterate and needy women to a skills level where they are employable, able to go on to a higher education to become a professional, or open a business of their own, or a partnership or with a community group.
Following evaluation, the students were broken into three grades, i.e. illiterate, intermediate and vocational skills. The Illiterate and Vocationals skills grades offers a 3 month course, and the intermediate a one-month course. The students will be evaluated at the end of each period and will either repeat the course as many times as necessary to gain the needed skill level to advance or move on to the next course.
There are up to three teachers helping with each class. It is expected the illiterate students will take between six to twelve months to advance to the intermediate class and the intermediate students will take three to six months to advance to the three-month vocational course.
The women seem so happy to have this opportunity.
