MENTORING YOUNG PEOPLE. DEVELOPING SKILLS. BUILDING CAREER PATHWAYS.
The Sam Buah Foundation supports young people, particularly those from ethnic-minority backgrounds, to recognise their potential and progress towards meaningful education, training and employment opportunities.
Our work is connected to JOJE Project Management Training and JOJE Projects, creating a pathway that can bring together mentoring, professional development, practical insight and employer engagement.
HOW OUR CONNECTED MODEL WORKS
MENTORING AND CAREER PREPARATION
The Sam Buah Foundation helps young people develop confidence, career awareness, employability skills and professional networks.
Our programmes may include:
- Personal and career mentoring.
- CV and interview preparation.
- Workplace-readiness support.
- Professional role models.
- Employer talks and networking.
- Skills-development opportunities.
- Guidance towards education, training and employment.
PROFESSIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRAINING
Through our relationship with JOJE Project Management Training, eligible participants may access structured project-management development, including opportunities to study towards the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification.
This can help participants understand project-management principles and explore careers such as project support officer, project coordinator and assistant project manager.
CONNECTION TO INDUSTRY AND PRACTICAL DELIVERY
JOJE Projects delivers project-management consulting and practical project support for clients.
This industry connection helps the Foundation understand the skills employers require and can create opportunities for appropriate project simulations, professional insight, employer engagement and supervised experience where available.
OUR SHARED VISION
Our shared vision is to build a sustainable cycle of opportunity:
The Foundation develops potential. Training builds professional capability. JOJE Projects connects knowledge with practical delivery. Employers provide opportunities for talent to progress.
As JOJE Projects grows, the long-term vision is for part of its commercial success to help support the Foundation’s work and enable more young people to benefit.
