Skilling and Vocational Training

Skilling and Vocational Training

Our Skilling and Vocational Training program equips children, adolescents, and young adults with marketable skills while ensuring their protection from exploitation, including child labour.

Through the PLA Training and Skilling Centre and Community Learning Hubs, we deliver vocational courses, digital skills, climate literacy, and entrepreneurship training anchored in the realities of the communities we serve.

Our Skilling and Vocational Training program strengthens youth and community resilience by equipping children, adolescents, and young adults with marketable skills while ensuring their protection from all forms of exploitation, including child labour.

PLA Training and Skilling Centre

Established as a social enterprise in 2017, our skilling and apprenticeship initiatives are anchored in the PLA Training and Skilling Centre, offering vocational courses, digital skills, technical programs, and entrepreneurship sessions.

Community Learning Hubs

At our Vocational Training and Skilling Centre, we believe that learning should be accessible, relevant, and rooted in the realities of the communities we serve. That is why we establish Community Learning Hubs — safe, inclusive spaces where youth can gain practical skills and knowledge right within their own environments. These centres are designed to empower young people, especially women and girls, with vocational training that leads to meaningful employment and entrepreneurship.

Climate Literacy

Climate literacy modules are now built into our curriculum, covering climate change awareness, sustainable practices for everyday life and business, green entrepreneurship, and innovation.

Information Technology

All our modules have an information technology component, with an option of a standalone module for those interested in technology.
