Opportunities at International Centre of Technology (ICT)
Out of Afrika can offer you volunteer opportunities at our college, International Centre of
Technology (ICT), established in January 2007. ICT offers a wide range of academic and vocational
training.

ICT's Mission is to provide an innovative international learning environment that will challenge, inspire and motivate the individual and meet the needs of business and industry.

We need volunteers from a wide range of professions with or without formal qualifications who want to make a real difference in the fight against poverty.

Our aim is to enable people to acquire employable skills for long term self sufficiency.
We need volunteers to teach/assist in the preparation and implementation of the courses we offer in: IT, Business Administration, Accounts, Community Development, Pharmacy, Secretarial, Fire and First Aid Training, Disaster Management, Vocational Skills and Sports.

Computer Training
Volunteers assist in our programe to train under-privileged people from the community
surrounding the college in any of the following areas: introduction of windows, Internet orientation, Ms. Word, Ms. Excel (spread sheet), Ms. Access, Ms. Power Point, Ms. Front page, Publisher, Adobe Page maker, Corel Draw, Adobe Photoshop etc.

There will also be some computer hardware training in addition to the software training, depending on the knowledge and skills of the volunteer. The target groups of people we focus on training are disadvantaged people from poor income families who as a result of that have become school drop outs and unskilled youth.

Vocational Training
Out of Afrika aims to reduce poverty and improve lives with education through working with
community based organisations as partners.
We provide training in technical skills that equip people with the expertise to be able to
work and become self-reliant.
