Skill training to help vulnerable children become self-reliant
Orphaned and vulnerable children living at the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau (CPWB) in Lahore are being provided vocational training to help them prepare for independent life after leaving the institution upon reaching adulthood.
The drive has been launched through the establishment of a vocational training centre at the bureau, where boys and girls are learning a variety of practical skills aimed at improving their employment prospects and enabling them to backing themselves in the future.
According to the bureau governing body, one of the key challenges faced by children living at the facility is that they must leave the institution once they turn 18 and begin life independently. Many of them have limited backing systems outside the bureau, making it difficult to secure employment and sustain themselves.
To address this concern, the vocational training programme has been designed to equip them with marketable skills that can help them find employment or start small-scale work opportunities after leaving the institution.
Currently, the centre offers training in cooking, graphic designing and plumbing, while additional courses are also being planned to expand the programme in the coming months.
In the cooking section, children are being trained to prepare a range of dishes and develop basic culinary skills.
