About this programme
Turn some of your holiday time into hands-on learning.
The EILA Holiday Program gives young people an opportunity to learn practical skills in an engaging industrial environment during school holidays.
Who can participate? Anyone aged 12 and above. There is no upper age limit.
How it works: Choose a skill and a session — Morning (9:00am–12:30pm) or Afternoon (2:00pm–5:30pm) — and enrol for a minimum of 5 days.
Fee: KSh 1,000 per session of 3½ hours, per skill.
Who it is for
