How One Nonprofit Uses On-the-Job Training to Fulfill Its Mission with Amina Mohamed — Learning for Good | L&D Solutions and Leadership Development for Nonprofits

How do you design training that actually leads to a job, not just a certificate?

In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Amina Mohamed, founder and executive director of Cameras for Girls, a Canadian charity advancing gender equality in media across Africa, to talk about designing learning around the change you want to create.

So many nonprofits build training programs and hope people walk away better prepared, but hoping isn't the same as knowing a program creates real employment outcomes. For Amina, a training program only matters if it ends in a job, and that standard shapes every phase of how she builds and evaluates her work.
