SKILL TRAININGS & LIVELIHOOD

Building Skills, Creating Sustainable Livelihoods

VOCRDC empowers women and youth through practical skill development, employment opportunities, entrepreneurship and community-owned enterprises.

Poverty-stricken women often face restricted access to education due to distant or costly training centres, social customs limiting mobility, early marriage, and lack of finance. VOCRDC provides skill development training to women and youth from suburban and rural areas, empowering them to start small businesses and secure sustainable livelihoods.

Skill development enables participants to support their families, reduces dependency, builds confidence in decision-making, builds self-esteem, increases earning potential and creates entrepreneurship opportunities.

To strengthen social and economic development, VOCRDC offers diverse training modules including:
