HAMU Trained and Certified ECSU Graduating students
Center for Cross Cutting Issues Training and Consultancy, HIV/AIDS Management Unit gave Three day training on “Work Place HIV&AIDS Mainstreaming” for thirty-four graduating students and Anti-AIDS Club members of Ethiopian Civil Service University from July 6-8, 2016.
The students have been actively participating in different HIV&AIDS related trainings, community conversations, panel discussions and other programs offered by HAMU during their stay in the University. It is the conviction of HAMU that these students have acquired the necessary knowledge, skill and attitude to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on their work place as well as their community.
The training they took on Workplace HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming is supposed to help them to initiate and strengthen mainstreaming in the organization they are working. During the training the trainees asserted that they will shoulder the responsibility of sharing what they have learned in the various trainings to their community especially to play a crucial role in mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in their workplace and use the knowledge they acquired to foster the task of mainstreaming.
A group work activities were set at the end of the training session which helped the facilitator of the training to know how much the training goal is accomplished and also the trainees were also able to practice different mainstreaming tools that will help to enhance the work place HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming activities within their respective organizations.
The three-day trainings were delivered by Ms. Wubalem Arefaine Head of HAMU.
