Vocational Training Center

Employable vocational Training Education is the need of the day and the marketability of the skills by the trainees who are still dithering on the brink of poverty. This quality training will enable them for sustainable livelihood alternatives which can enable the trainees to be role models for others in the society.

Keeping this in mind, WORD with the support of Terre des Hommes, Netherlands, started to run a vocational training center to the needy people as a sustainable livelihood option to improve the quality of lives of the people as part of its blooming buds project both in Namakkal and Pallipalayam. To us, our training center is not only a place for learning, but it should also a place for them to earn. Hence, we also work hard to tie up with the industries in and around our place for the employment opportunity to our aspiring students and promote them to start their own business ventures. 

At the moment the do provide Computer and Tailoring Trainings in Namakkal and Tailoring in our Pallipalayam center.  We also engage the tailor made employable trainings to the needy youth. 


Besides, these two training trades, WORD also join hands with various agencies to train the local communities with other training that are needed. Recently in August 2014, WORD in support with 'Trends in Vogue' trained 70 women on beautician training program under STAR Scheme of NSDC. 

With the CSR support of Fullerton India Credit Company Limited, we  established satellite vocational training centers on tailoring and embroidery from August 2016 
& beauty care from April 2019 in various locations in Tamilnadu. These are 3 months market linked vocational training courses aimed to train 50 rural women in each batch.

Currently (from January- March 2021), WORD runs six vocational Training Centers in Tailoring in Namakkal, Duraiyur, Dharapuram, Kaatoor, Thirupathur and Karaikudi centers. There is an intake of 50 trainees in each center and a there is a total of 300 trainees altogether.
