All Training and Internship beneficiaries start the project by undergoing Life Skills Training (LST) which is focused coaching intended to equip beneficiaries with adaptive and positive behavior that will enable them to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. LST is immediately by Core Business Skills Training (CBST).

Core Business Skills Training (CBST) equips youth beneficiaries with the entrepreneurial insight, financial foresight and management skills required to start and expand businesses successfully.

LST and CBST both last for two weeks each.
