Skills & Career Development

Fundi Bots works with schools, partners and communities to provide hands-on, practical science, technology, engineering and general science education for classrooms and communities.

Our long-term vision is to prepare youth for careers by providing intensive skill-development training using modern tools, internships and rigorous certifications.

For our skills training and career development, we use open-access “Fundi Spaces” which reach more communities and impact more youth. Our Fundi Spaces are places where all youth can access our robotics training, workshops, events, innovation tools and resources at no cost.

Our students will be paired with mentors and advisors to help them learn from real-world professionals.

Technical Skills Training

Impact & Outcomes

Our technical skills training has three core outcomes for students.

i) They earn core principles of STEM; electronics and mechanical engineering, woodwork, metalwork, computer programming, etc.

ii) They get hands-on, real-world access to relevant, modern skills that lead directly to job opportunities, specifically in technology and vocational industries.

iii) They are empowered and encouraged to use their new skills, knowledge and technology to solve bigger challenges within their communities, and, through entrepreneurship training, can lead to extended economic and social impact in agriculture, energy and health.

We want to help youth get readily marketable technical skills for employ-ability, and to eventually become socially responsible innovators and entrepreneurs.

Soft Skills for Better Careers

Impact & Outcomes

On top of technical skills, soft skills – such as teamwork, knowledge of digital tools, an understanding of rules and regulations, responsibility and commitment – are the most relevant skillsets for the future.

To create well-rounded and better prepared students, Fundi Bots is partnering with various trainers and business professionals to introduce young children and youth, specifically science students, to these essential soft-skills.

By providing Soft Skills training to science students (and youth in general), we are introducing them to basic business skills at an early age. Whether it’s project management, communications, team-work or public speaking, we’re laying the foundation for them to become strong and competent employees from day one.

Additionally, we are enabling future scientists and engineers to eventually transition easier and better through their careers to more managerial roles like product managers, customer relations support staff, consultants, technology entrepreneurs and social change champions.

Soft Skills Training Areas

  • Business and Entrepreneurship
  • Personal Development
  • Inter-Personal Interactions
