FULL – Functional Literacy and Lifeskills Program
To truly prepare young people for the future, more is needed than just a school diploma. Schools mostly teach facts, but not how to deal with real-life situations. Topics like managing money, planning, job interviews, mental health, or standing up for yourself are often not taught. Not at school and not at home.
That’s why we created the FULL training. With one-time support from the Van Well van der Snoek Foundation, we developed a training syllabus. It covers different life topics that young people can learn step by step.
The goal is to help them understand themselves better, improve their social skills, and increase their chances of finding a job. This also helps prevent them from being lured abroad by shady employment agencies and ending up in bad work situations.
The FULL training is a big success. We’ve already held a few pilot sessions. Many more young people showed up than we expected. For us, this clearly shows how important it is to support young people in this way as they prepare for their future.
