Bankura Vocational Training Centre, India
Bankura Vocational Training Centre was set up in 1998. Since it started, more than 608 students have graduated in eight different trades, including: carpentry, IT, tailoring, and mechanics. Some of the students themselves are disabled; others have parents who have leprosy, and because of this their chances of education and employment have been reduced. Without the help of TLM, it is likely that the students that attend Bankura Vocational Training Centre would have no qualifications and would struggle to find employment. As it is, all of the students are able to find employment when they leave the centre. The centre has a good reputation and many of the courses have government accreditation.
The centre not only gives students the chance to learn new skills, but also provides counselling and self care workBankura VTC is part of the West Bengal Partnership, and will be supported from Scotland for many years to come.
