FUNCTIONAL SKILLS (IT & English Lessons)

Aiming at Increased employability: Having functional IT and English skills can make individuals more employable, as many jobs today require some level of english and computer proficiency. This can open up a wider range of job opportunities and increase their chances of getting hired.
