Dear friend of the Rainbows
We hope you're safe and keeping well.
This quarter, the Futures team at Rainbow Homes Program focused on preparing our young adults for career opportunities. By collaborating with organisations, expert groups and individuals we organised a series of virtual workshops, training sessions and digital classes in which subject matter knowledge and help were provided to the young adults as per their needs.
With the uncertain job environment Covid has created, job-seeking young adults are anxious more than ever. These virtual conversations and workshops hence have helped them ease the tension and be occupied with learning rather than idle deliberations.
During this quarter with our stakeholders and teams support we had some accomplishments :
