In this report, we would like to share with you the activities that have gone through the past year. We have seen change among youth who would have been drop outs and pushed into the unskilled labour sector got transformed to become educated, skilled, employed, independent, self-reliant, contributing to their families and communities.
Awareness Programme
We believe that a more informed public will play a significant role in helping us reach our objectives. With the point of increasing awareness on existing vocational education, the community were offered awareness programme where direct interactions was held with the youth informing them on their informed choice of education which is well available at their reach as well as through notices, hand notes, flyers, wall posters, etc.
157 youth are narrowed down and enrolled to the hospitality trade. The youth enrolled have successfully completed their acadmic year with support of free lunch for five days a week keeps the students more energetic and balances their nutritional diet. Educational material and travelling cost is kept light for the students, which as a net result marks the attendance level on a high scale. 92% of students are successfully placed resulting in reduction of poverty, enhanced productivity and promoted environmentally sustainable development. This will help them develop their personality and inspires them to come forward and achieve greater successes.
Examination
The performance of our students in the examinations was consistently good. The number of students passing out through this vocational courses, records a steady increase. Almost 95% of the students under the support of have successfully completed their exams.
Internship Programme
As a part of the regular curriculum, students are sent for training programmes to hotels to be trained on the practicality of the course pursued. Along with certification, the course also provides students with placement and job opportunities. Through such trainings, students set aside a part of their earnings to meet out their partial educational needs, while they also supplement their family’s necessities.
