Here at the Vocational Training Centre in Colombo our trainee's embark on a one year training program designed to give them skills to be able to generate an income and live a more independent lifestyle. The trainees work from 9am til 3pm each day with a varied timetable to fit in the many skills in which they can master. They are encouraged to help run the centre along with the staff and provide essential support such as cleaning up, preparing tea and biscuits, organizing daily tasks and keeping orderly records.
