Prevocational-training

Overview

The Pre vocational  Centre at Brindavan has been set up to cater to the needs of children who are not able to complete their formal schooling through the conventional board exams. This group of children are fully capable both cognitively and functionally to undertake skilling courses leading to direct employment. The Pre vocational program at Brindavan equips this group, over a period of 4-5 years, starting from the age of 14, to develop the skills needed to enroll in identified and specific vocational training programs such as in the area of multimedia, horticulture, bakery arts and the hospitality industry at the age of 18+.

The skills acquired will be profiled and with the support of counselling, aptitude testing and networking, they will be able to identify interest and strength areas so as to continue their training in specific vocational programs.

 

The Four-year Pre vocational program

The centre works on skill development at a Pre vocational level in the areas of

  • Functional literacy and math
  • Digital Literacy program (Typing skills, MS Office)
  • Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication skills
  • Life skills
  • Introduction to Pre vocational skills such as multimedia, bakery arts, horticulture, book keeping, front office.

This training in skills along with basic academics helps them express, follow, focus and create. Application of what has been learnt is one of the most important takeaways from the center. Importance is given to life skills and preparing individuals to function independently to make them an integral part of the community.

The Pre vocational center also has an 18-month Multi-Media program that it runs in collaboration with AIMS Media. This program progresses from sketching in a sketchbook to MS Paint and then Adobe Photoshop. Learning to create posters, portraits, collages and make videos are just some of the many things that the program has to offer. AIMS Media works with special schools and provides a dynamic, meaningful curriculum, that provides an innovative, hands-on learning approach that is employment oriented.

An added value service of the Pre vocational program.

Due to requests for formal certification, Brindavan has added training for the S.S.L.C. and P.U.C boards on a “upon request” basis for children who may still want to do the board exams. This will be supplementary to the main program of the Pre vocational center. Children will be evaluated and enrolled for the S.S.L.C. or the P.U.C.  (for those who have completed the S.S.L.C)

S.S.L.C.

Students are trained for the state board exam. Enrolment in the Pre vocational program is a prerequisite for training for the S.S.L.C. board exam.

P.U.C.

Pre-University exam training in the arts stream. Enrolment in the Pre vocational program is a prerequisite.

Please do get in touch with us at brindavan.prevocprogram@gmail.com for further enquiries.

We work 5 days a week from 10 am to 3 pm.

Since my son joined the prevocational center, his computer skills have increased to an optimum level. His patience in approaching situations has been nourished and he has turned into a voracious learner. He is able to take logical decisions for himself and has started to apply functional math concepts in everyday life. He has gained confidence in his creative ability. I had a guilt that I didn’t try SSLC for him. Brindavan Pre vocational is starting SSLC from this year. It is the right place for my son and I am happy that I have taken the right decision by making my son join the program.

We were looking for a training center where there was more focus on life skills than academics. We did not want our son to be pressurized by academics as it would have adversely affected his overall confidence. Today, after joining Brindavan Pre-Vocational Centre his basic communication, English and math skills have improved. He has gained confidence to communicate with his classmates and teachers. We were very happy to see him perform confidently on stage at the Annual day function. He has also started to mingle with his friends in the neighborhood. To top it all the center also has a Multimedia program that he is thoroughly enjoying. We are extremely happy that we put our son in the Brindavan Pre-Vocational Centre.
