Launched two years ago, the centre has been providing skill training and employment opportunities to local youth. Over the past two years, it has facilitated employment opportunities for more than 500 candidates. The centre is taking steps to provide training in courses that are in demand in the job market and link skill development with suitable employment opportunities.
