BGS-VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE (VTC), RANGPUR
The BGS-Vocational Training Centre, Rangpur is major program areas of BGS which established in 2014 and since then it has been implementing different projects under the program. Initially, it was aiming to provide vocational skills training for the unemployed and school dropout youths of rural Bangladesh. At the initial stage, BGS observed that there were large number of school-dropped and unskilled young people who were treated as burden for their families. BGS realized that these unemployed youth could be hopes of their families if they are transformed as skilled manpower to earn. In view this, BGS expanded the program gradually and it integrated the area of job placement/employment generation for the training graduated youth.
