SEDRA Foundation

SEDRA Foundation launches the Pre-Vocational Academy Program.    Under Sedra’s Inclusive Internship and Employment Program, the Pre-Vocational Academy prepares and empowers Youth of Determination (ages 16+) for entry into the hospitality industry.     This program equips participants with essential soft and hard skills, enhancing their social, employability, and work-based abilities. It also serves as a pre-requisite for those interested in joining Sedra's inclusive internships in hospitality.    We invite Youth of Determination and their family members to join an informative online Q&A session to learn how this program can benefit them. Multiple family members are welcome to attend.    Important note: Only those who attend this session will receive access to apply to the Academy.   To attend the session, please register through the link in our Linktree. مؤسسة سدرة تطلق دورة التدريب ما قبل التوظيف.   في إطار برنامج سدرة للتدريب والتوظيف الدامج، تهدف هذه الدورة التدريبية إلى إعداد وتمكين الشباب أصحاب الهمم (ذوي الأعمار من 16 فما فوق) للدخول في مجال صناعة الضيافة.   من خلال هذه الدورة يتم تزويد المشاركين بالمهارات الشخصية المرنة والصلبة الأساسية، مما يعزز قدراتهم الاجتماعية وقابليتهم للتوظف والعمل. كما أنه بمثابة شرط مسبق للانضمام إلى دورات سدرة للتدريب الدامج الأوسع مدىً في مجال الضيافة.   ندعو الشباب أصحاب الهمم وأفراد أسرهم إلى حضور جلسة أسئلة وأجوبة إعلامية عبر الإنترنت لمعرفة جدوى هذه الدورة. ونحن نرحب بحضور أكثر من شخص من كل أسرة.   ملاحظة هامة: من يحضر هذه الجلسة وحده سيحصل على التصريح بالتقدم للمشاركة في الدورة التدريبية. لحضور الجلسة ، يرجى التسجيل من خلال الرابط الموجود تحت شعار سدرة أعلاه.   #PreVocationalTraining #VocationalProgram #InclusiveEmployment #InclusiveTraining #InclusiveInternship #PeopleOfDetermination #ThisIsOurCommunity #One_Community #DisabilityInclusion #TogetherWeCan #CoCreatingWithSEDRA
