Vocational training centers are places dedicated to improving practical skills for particular jobs.. These Vocational Training Centers play a crucial role in filling the gaps in skills needed in the job market and adjusting education to meet the changing needs of different industries. Additionally, vocational training is not just about starting a job. It is also an ongoing process of getting better at skills and helping undergraduate and graduate students move forward in their careers and specialize in specific areas.
Established in 2019, the Hope and Care Foundation Vocational Training Centers are committed to empowering numerous underprivileged youths, especially the girl child by providing them with high-quality vocational training. Our primary goal is to prepare them for lucrative employment opportunities. A distinctive feature of our Vocational Training Centers is its commitment to creating curricula to the evolving demands of the industry and we also work hard to connect with students and the industry itself.
The first step towards setting up a Vocational Training Center is to survey a certain demographic area. This helps us to focus on the unique needs of each market and guides our educational initiatives. The two most common initiatives considering the background of the students we engage happen to be certified tailoring and computer related courses. The objective here is not only to provide education but also to empower the local residents by equipping them with skills that directly cater to the demands of the market. All our courses are certified by established certification agencies which help the students to get credible employed once they finish the course.
In conclusion, it’s the dedication that makes our training centers not just places of learning but a place where education meets the real-world demands of the industry, creating a bridge for students to step confidently into their careers.
The biggest challenge we face in running a VTC programme is to find suitable employment opportunities for the girls and women we train. Job opportunities are scarce, a lot of these women have never worked in a factory, there is additional responsibilities of looking after the home and the family and children. We realised we were raising expectations for a lot of these participants but due to a lack of resources these women were not able to use their skill sets to the best of their abilities. We brainstormed and came up with a win win. One of our regular sponsors consented to gift sewing machines to the participants who successfully completed the course. Now all these women can work from home, managing both their home and work at the same time. They are managing their responsibilities and taking on as much work as they can physically handle-all within the four walls of their home.
The sense of empowerment is complete!!!
