What are we for ?

We are glad to share with you all that we are launching our website. We are committed to provide need based, market oriented short and long-term vocational education and training giving special opportunity to disadvantaged groups(dalits, Janajati and Madheshi). We are also committed to produce large number of entrepreneurs with the help of those trainings. This, we believe, will reduce the unemployment and increase national income making people job creators rather job seekers. We will be moving towards developing industry based training making strong link with the industries and ultimately conducting training in the related industry itself. We will also make strong ties with government agencies, institutions and offices linking the training in real world of work. This will pave way for sustainability of vocational training delivery system.  The actual norms and value of technical education and vocational training will be applied to reduce the poverty of the country.
