Life skills are defined as “a group of psychosocial competencies and interpersonal skills that help people make informed decisions, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, empathize with others, and cope with and manage their lives in a healthy and productive manner. Life skills may be directed toward personal actions or actions toward others, as well as toward actions to change the surrounding environment to make it conducive to health.” according to World Health Organization (WHO). Bearing the WHO definition in mind, the Basic Life Skills curriculum offers youth the emotional, social and intellectual tools needed to achieve success in life – on a personal level, an interpersonal level, and within their community and work places.
We believe that including these life skills and soft skills training topics in the TECH BOOTCAMP curriculum will help to enhance participants’ overall personal and professional development, equipping them with essential skills for success in their chosen career paths.
This session is designed with the following OBJECTIVES in mind:
- To offer value-added information that can enhance participants’ personal development and overall well-being.
- To equip participants with the tools/techniques and mindset necessary to lead fulfilling and successful lives, both personally, and professionally.
