The Program
Additional Information
Overview
The Sankofa Accelerated Leadership Program (XLP) is a fast-track pest management training program designed to leverage practiced experiential learning to improve knowledge retention and increase capability, confidence, and skill development.
Designed to develop technician, senior and executive leaders who can continue to carve out new paths in the pest management industry. XLP graduates will be known to be results-driven, committed, self-aware, connected, and exude inspiration to those around them. The program is designed to be a solution that would:
- Reinforce skills and retention of information by scaling social learning.
- Facilitate bi-directional feedback to drive capability mastery.
- Increase confidence of XLP participants through contextual, timely feedback.
- Drive impactful behavior change as participants graduate to higher levels of engagement.
The Objective
The goal of the XLP Program is to provide an opportunity for young adults that are aging out of the child welfare system to break through the challenges that they face as they enter adulthood and independent living. It has been meticulously designed to overcome barriers and to include individual development plans to target breakthrough learning experiences by using challenging hands on assignments with ongoing coaching, mentoring, and networking.
The Trainee
Trainees are young adult ages 18-24 that have been involved in the foster care system at some point in their lives. Youth that are turning 18 (aging out) typically leave foster care to make it on their own at an age when most well-supported young people in intact families cannot succeed by themselves. The overarching objective is to give young people in foster care similar opportunities for success in life and positive experiences that are often associated with their peers in intact families. These opportunities include access to education and work; opportunities to build resilience and assume adult roles; financial capability; and direct involvement in making decisions that impact them – the hallmarks of transitioning to independence and a productive and healthy adulthood.
The Sankofa XLP program is projected to launch in the spring of 2024!
