Education & Skills Training
Empowering young talents beyond the pitch
Program Overview
Purpose
To ensure that every young person within Wire Soccer Academy whether a player or a community youth gains the academic support, practical skills, digital knowledge, and personal development required to thrive in school, in life, and in future careers.
The Education & Skills Training Program is designed to support the academic success, personal development, and future career opportunities of youth within Wire Soccer Academy (WSA) and the wider community. We believe that talented youth must grow both academically and socially to reach their full potential. This program equips young people with education support, life skills, digital knowledge, entrepreneurship abilities, and vocational training that empower them beyond football. Many of footballers live below the poverty levels and thus after completing the standard eight, it has been very difficult to join secondary schools. As WSA, with the little support we’ve been able to get from the well-wishers, we’ve managed to support a good number of youths to join form one in secondary schools. By doing this, we do buy for them school uniforms, learning staionary eg.books, pens, beddings and joining school fees.
