The HR Club successfully conducted a Training of Trainers (ToT) Program on Drug Prevention
aimed for HR Specialization students. The programme held on 12th and 13th of September 2024, the
program focused on equipping students with the knowledge and skills to deliver effective drug
prevention education to younger audiences in schools. This initiative is part of a larger effort to
combat drug abuse by empowering students to act as ambassadors of drug prevention in their
communities.
The training program was conducted at BH2, Faculty of Business Studies with 15 university students
participating from HR Department. The sessions were facilitated by experienced professionals from
District Secretariat. The program covered a comprehensive curriculum on drug prevention, including
the causes and effects of drug abuse, prevention strategies, and the role of education in curbing
substance abuse. In addition to theoretical knowledge, participants engaged in practical exercises
such as scenario-based learning, which helped them develop effective communication and
presentation skills.
Throughout the program, the participants displayed great enthusiasm and a strong commitment to the
cause. The interactive nature of the training allowed students to ask questions and engage in
discussions, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding drug abuse and the best
practices in prevention. By the end of the training, the participants were confident in their ability to
deliver drug prevention education to school students.
As a follow-up, the trained students will participate in Phase Two of the project, where they will visit
local youths in their respective communities to conduct workshops on drug prevention, applying the
skills and knowledge gained from this program. This cascading model of knowledge dissemination
ensures a broader impact as more students are reached and educated on drug prevention.
In conclusion, the Training of Trainers Program was a significant success, fulfilling its goal of
preparing university students to take an active role in combating drug abuse through education. The
HR Club is committed to supporting these trainers as they move forward in the second phase of this
initiative, ensuring a sustained and positive impact on the community.
