Zaridi Afrika has recognized the fact that it is necessary for our programs to develop scholastic as well as co-scholastic areas, and hence, has made this bracket a compulsory element of what we do.
The volumes below fall under the co-curricular bracket:
- Talent Management – Talent is a natural aptitude, an inner quality that emerges effortlessly. In this day and age, the utilization of talent has proved to be worthwhile but we as Zaridi Afrika believe it’s not about realizing your talent rather how a child or teen inputs hard work to the point of success. As Albert Einstein once stated, “Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work”
- Career Development – Every child dreams about what they will be when they grow up and the roots of career development begin early in a child’s life. Through matching skills, interests and utilizing psychometric tests, it is our goal as Zaridi Afrika to ensure career planning is simplified and to guide young people in developing a healthy sense of self, thus enabling them to reach their full potential.
Pictured is Precious Neema, an eleven (11) year old girl who longs to be a pilot in future. Through our career development program, she was able to learn a lot about Aviation and enjoy the Cessna-172 cockpit. Despite it being a male dominated career, it's Zaridi Afrika's goal to build on the confidence of such girls and ensure they grow up believing it's very much achievable
- Leadership – Leadership skills allow children to have control of their lives and the ability to make things happen. Leadership instills confidence, and helps children solve problems creatively, work in a team, and work collaboratively with others. At Zaridi Afrika we teach the skills necessary for children to take on leadership roles now and in the future.
- Social Work – Social work does not only have positive effects in society, but it brings benefits to the life of your child or teen and personal development. One of the benefits of social work is that it provides young people with the chance to improve skills important for their future workplace, such as communication and organizational skills, teamwork, planning, problem-solving and task management.
