Bamya doesn't invent employability and workplace skills theory — we make proven ideas accessible and personal.
Each session draws on established research and guides service users through a learn-apply rhythm: we share a concept, then help them connect it to their real situation. They don't move forward until they've genuinely engaged.
Our content is grounded in evidence-based approaches from occupational psychology, adult learning, and workplace development research.
