Programme

Skills development

GDO supports vocational training institutes and skill centres in Tehsil Karor — including a government Vocational Training Institute offering four trades (vocational skills, auto mechanic, plumbing and electrical) — so young people gain a trade and an income.

The challenge

Why this matters

Young people in rural areas often lack marketable skills and the capital to start earning, so talent goes unused and families stay poor.

What GDO does

  • Government Vocational Training Institute at Wadhey Wali with four trades
  • VTI skill centres for poor families and for women in Tehsil Karor
  • Linking trained youth to micro-loans and enterprise support (see Entrepreneurship)
