SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, supports vocational training initiatives targeting people in vulnerable communities, helping them gain essential skills for sustainable employment. SayPro understands that marginalized groups often lack access to quality education or formal job opportunities. Through technical workshops and job readiness programs, SayPro offers tailored training in areas like carpentry, tailoring, agriculture, and computer literacy. Peace Corps volunteers assist with program delivery, community engagement, and mentoring. SayPro aims to break cycles of poverty and dependency by promoting self-reliance and employability.
SayPro develops vocational curricula aligned with local market needs, ensuring participants can apply their new skills immediately. Peace Corps volunteers help identify local businesses for internship placements and apprenticeships. SayPro also fosters entrepreneurship by teaching business fundamentals such as budgeting, marketing, and customer service. These programs are designed for youth, women, displaced individuals, and persons with disabilities — communities that SayPro believes deserve equal chances at prosperity.
SayPro ensures each vocational program includes soft skills development, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Peace Corps volunteers organize group activities that build confidence and collaboration. SayPro provides toolkits and startup materials for graduates to begin their own microenterprises. Community members are encouraged to form cooperatives or small business alliances, supported through SayPro’s ongoing mentorship. The goal is to transform training into real economic outcomes and long-term resilience.
SayPro measures the success of vocational programs by tracking job placement rates, income growth, and business creation. Peace Corps helps gather feedback from participants and employers to improve training quality. SayPro advocates for integrating vocational training into national development plans. Together, SayPro and the Peace Corps are changing lives — one skill, one job, and one opportunity at a time.
