In the second year of training the CCL uses a variety of means to achieve its goal of trained and employable leaders able to sustain life in a tough economy; able to plant churches in remote villages.
All students are instructed in basic typing and computer knowledge while attending classes the first year. The second year builds on those skills and they are given a choice of vocational opportunities to master. Working off the voucher system, the student and his mentor make decisions together as to what would be the next step. The CCL has been developing solid relationships with employers to give students needed experience in various fields. Also, small business development ventures are in discussion. It is the CCL's aim to provide strategic advocacy to the students at this crucial development stage.
Concurrent with the vocational training is the ministry internship program. Depending on a students needs they are matched with a mature christian leader who can help them in a single or a wide-range of ministry skills and areas of wisdom development.
