SKILL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

In an environment afflicted by gender and social discrimination, the teens and youth of marginalized communities struggle to break out from the cycle of poverty due to their ignorance about the opportunities available to them. Our programs at the Skill Development Centre works to empower them and prepare them for a successful future. The Skill Development Centre is a grassroot approach for the Karunakarya Community College to build awareness for the importance of higher education, professional training, and careers. We are also developing short-term courses, in partnership with different organizations, focusing on upgrading their aptitude to generate a sustainable income.

Life Skills Development

On every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, the teens and youth meet at our facility in Eraiyur. They participate in life skills development workshops where we enhance their awareness. We discuss important topics like gender discrimination, respect, and amity within and between peer groups, social behaviour, and coping mechanisms. The goal is to create positivity and responsibility towards their own life, their community, and the environment.

CreaZone

The CreaZone program takes place every Wednesday, where the teens and youth from the communities have a chance to explore their talents and passions. We offer them different recreational activities to participate in after a short session on life skills and behavioural issues. The activities include self-defence, computer skills, music, cooking, arts & crafts, English, volleyball, and science. Utilizing their time and energy in a productive outlet helps them to identify their talents and create exposure. 

Career Guidance

The youth from our communities are not able to make the connection between what they learn in school and its relevance for their future. The career guidance programs are a step towards encouraging the youth to stay in the education system by giving them a purpose and a goal. We help them understand the skills and qualifications required for different careers and give them exposure to the different industries through exhibitions and workshops by professionals. This helps them create a path towards their own ambitions.
