Fr. Mathew Perumpil, MI, Director of Snehagram, writes about this new program:

Snehagram was started with the aim of providing individualized vocational skills training for Children to help them build a good career and life as they grow up. Well, the dream is wonderful, but we were always worried how this could be materialized. As we began this year, our focus was in settling down and building and refreshing their English speaking, writing and communication skills along with the introduction of the curriculum for 10th examinations. We thought next year we will begin some short courses on vocational training as we are more settled.

But God had better plans. He sent us a wonderful partnership to realize our dream even before we thought we could. It all started when one of our old visitor students from St. Joseph’s College, who now works with an organization who trains young people in vocational skills with government certification and placement. Sheela Mary called me and asked whether we would be interested. I couldn’t hold my excitement and told her we were looking for someone to help in this area. Thus on February 24th, we began our first Vocational course, Retail and Communication for 20 students. We have two trainers who will prepare them for the next sixty days and then they will write the examination and the certificate is issued approved by the Ministry of Labour, Government of India.

We will teach various courses that are available and are approved by the Government of India concurrently as the students are preparing for their High School Examinations. The best part of the story is that they will not only teach the students but also help them find a suitable job as Orange Tech Solutions is also a placement agency.

Student’s Reaction….

I like this course more than our regular subjects. This course will help me to understand other people, improve my talents and skills. It will be very helpful for my future. In this course they teach me, how to interact with other people in business and how to maintain my life and how to deal with difficult situations. After completing the course we have to write the exam which will be conducted by the Central Government. I hope I can score good marks in this.
