This paradigm shift is expected to significantly improve their lives, while yielding positive economic results. By bridging the skills gap and fostering employability, the N-SKILLS programme contributes to the country's socio-economic development.
NVTF also partners with state governments to establish vocational training centers, factories, and workshops to enhance economic growth and provide hands-on experience to trainees.
