\nParticipatory Rural Development Society (PRDS) imparted vocational training to more than 700 vulnerable adolescent boys and girls of Peshawar including Afghan refugees, students, children with different disabilities and minorities, with the aim to empower the youth by providing them with different professional skills and knowledge, helping them improve their earning potential and build confidence in them.
\nThe joint venture of \u201cVSO International\u201d and ECW was aimed to promote self-empowerment among the youth and to enable them to move from poverty to self-reliance and to become more independent. Adolescent Boys and Girls under age of 18 were provided technical\/vocational training under the Multi Year Resilience Program (MYRP).
\nUnder the program, youngsters were skilled with a range of courses including beauticians, dressmaking, digital marketing and installation of CCTV cameras that will help enable the beneficiaries to stand on their own feet by acquiring expertise in various fields and professions. Besides arranging training materials, equipment and tools, qualified and certified trainers were engaged to train these youngsters in various institutes established at University Town, Arbab Road, Hayatabad, Kohat Road and Ring Road of Peshawar.
\nAddressing the training sessions, MYRP program manager, Mr. Tariq Hayat Yousafzai said that vocational training equips individuals with practical skills in specific fields, making them more employable and increasing their earning potential.
\nHe said that the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is facing multiple challenges including less job opportunities for the people, thus it is the need of the hour to equip the youth with various skills of the modern day.
\nRealizing the need of this, VSO and ECW successfully conducted a vocational program for the youth of Peshawar, providing them new skills that can boost self-esteem and confidence, helping individuals believe in their abilities, he said.
\nTariq Hayat was of the view that besides formal education, it\u2019s important to equip boys and girls with different professional training. Empowered individuals are more likely to contribute positively to their communities, whether through employment, entrepreneurship, or volunteering.
\nAt the end of the training, certificates will also be distributed among those, who completed training courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
