Welding interns are awarded a NEP kit with supplies when they complete their internship.
The NEP (New Entrepreneur Program) kits contain supplies to help welders start up a small workshop. NEP kits are awarded to welding interns at the end of their program. These interns are selected for their outstanding performance as students and receive an additional year of training and hands-on practice.
Projects like these allow students to receive real world hands-on experience..
Students and staff worked hand-in-hand to install a roof on the welding workshop restrooms – just in time for the rainy season!

Several levels of French and English classes are underway at the Gabu campus. Gabu is located in the Eastern part of the country.
Aziza has always admired people with computer skills. She initially tried to study computers and English while living in Gabu, but unfortunate circumstances prevented it.
Last year, Aziza moved to Bissau to attend medical school. As soon as she could, she enrolled in the IT course at the WAVS school in Bissau.
Since starting the IT class, Aziza has gained the ability to research, type efficiently, use software like Microsoft Word, and perform tasks like scanning and emailing documents.
“I used to have a colleague who would help me on the computer when we needed it. But being able to do the work yourself is so important. Now, I can do presentations and research by myself.”
