Vocational Institute

With respect and understanding for the needs of local rural inhabitants, the Safer Future Youth Trapc050884ining and Vocational Institute tries to reduce high youth unemployment through training in practical and necessary life skills. The goal of the Vocational Institute is to encourage local inhabitants to improve their skills in order to benefit their local communities ,and thus avoiding “brain drain”.
The Technical and vocational institute was established in 1994 to cater for the less privileged in society. In   contrast to most other Vocational Institutes, the training offered is free except for practical costs – an amount which is not readily met by most students.
Courses offered at the institute are Tailoring & Dressmaking, Carpentry & Joinery, Catering & Hotel Management, Building Construction, Gara Tie Dye/Batik and Soap-making, Cosmetology and Computer Studies. Besides these core study areas, every student acquires basic knowledge in Mathematics, English, General Paper, Guidance & Counseling, and Economical agriculture.
