Empowerment for Employment
Empowerment for Employment
To address the high youth unemployment rate that has recently straddled the Bhutanese youth, YDF vigorously promotes skills development through training establishments like the Nazhoen Pelri Skills Training Centre, and short term skills training in vocational trades.
The Nazhoen Pelri Skills and Training Centre (NSPTC)
The NSPTC was established in 2005 to create opportunities for vulnerable girls. Every year, thousands of students who have completed basic education (up to Grade 10) are looking for employment, some join state run vocational institutes but many end up with insecure futures. As of June 2010,65 girls have graduated from the centre. Most of the graduates have found gainful employment. Some of them are employed by organizations such as the Department of Adult and Higher Education as NFE instructors, NGOs and tailoring units, while few have started their own businesses.
