6. Operational Insights
The programme recorded strong student engagement throughout the training. Practical, hands-on learning significantly enhanced participation and skill development. Although electricity outages disrupted one training session, catch-up classes were successfully organised at the GoGreen Technologies office, ensuring continuity without affecting learning outcomes. The experience also demonstrated the commitment of both tutors and trainees to the success of the programme.
7. Recommendations
The increasing demand for EYODS highlights the need to expand future cohorts by securing additional funding, training equipment, and venue support. Investment in backup power solutions would minimise disruptions during practical sessions, while stronger partnerships with universities, development organisations, and industry stakeholders would enhance the programme’s sustainability and long-term impact.
