The center has advance classrooms with computer network and audio-visual demonstration.
“The trainees get extra classes on life skills, financial inclusion and personality development, besides practical knowledge of their chosen field”, he added.
Kirti Rawat, Placement Coordinator, said that trainees under certain trades like mobile servicing, beautician and tailoring prefer self-employment. While the course of bedside patient attendant is popular among girls of rural background and they are being placed by nursing homes, private clinics easily.
