Apprenticeship

FOCUS upholds apprenticeship as a key strategy in the development of skills and character.

Mentorship

FOCUS considers mentorship as a key strategy in building the capacity of young people and instilling character. This mentorship has been achieved through the participation of a wide network of graduates. The mentorship happens both informally and in intentionally organized structures of mentorship.

  1. Informal Mentorship – This is done by creating a platform for enhanced interaction and support by FOCUS Staff, graduates and Christian faculty to students. This approach to mentorship seeks to help students manage their own learning in order that they may maximize their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be in various areas of interest. This kind of mentorship happens when students are in retreats, career days and other fora that provide avenues for mentorship.
  2. Specialized mentorship – This is an intensive one-year mentorship program for Christian student leaders interested in the following spheres of influence; Politics & Governance, Business, Church Ministry, Academic Career, Family and Marriage life, Media, Arts.
