Breaking the vicious circle of poverty through fast track income generating prospects...

The fast track employable vocational training programme of the IRM is linked with the development of the individuals and their families. The programme serves the twin objectives of imparting technical skills to the community and generating self-employment prospects. IRM has developed training in over 90 different trades and vocational skills, that matches the market’s demand for specific skills based on an effective system of market survey and feedback from partners.

This programme was initiated on an experimental basis with the objective of providing fast track technical and vocational skills to the youth of rural areas who did not have access to regular government sponsored skill enhancement programmes which were predominantly located in the urban centers and were often too lengthy. IRM’s fast track and diverse programme had many benefits because of which rural youth flocked to enroll and benefit from the vocational and technical programme. Due to its success the programme has now taken the shape of an Institute called Vocational, Technical and Educational Center, VTEC.

IRM’s Vocational Training Programme (VTP) offers incentives for trainees from rural areas which include:

Full boarding and lodging
Transport from hostel to training centers and back
Emergency medical care
Counseling services
Business management training

Vocational training events are conducted in collaboration with certain government and non-government institutes and agencies as the government institutes are rich in resources and have competent and experienced training staff. However, due to certain limitations these institutes fail to reach the required standards. The VTP provides additional inputs and effective linkages to overcome these impediments and facilitates these institutes to perform better.

The participants of the VTP come from diverse regional backgrounds and are inducted in a variety of courses. The portfolio of the Vocational Training Programme offered by NRSP-IRM is listed below:
