The TVET program composed of a total of four training courses, two for computer skills & IT and two for mobile maintenance; each training course lasted 44 working days for 20 male and female IDP community members.
The program aimed to equip the community members with requisite vocational skills to be closer to achieving self-sustenance; either by making use of their newly acquired skills to work and build a carrier, or by starting their own mobile and computer repair outlets.
