vocational training

(Office of Her Majesty, Press Department- Amman) – Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah paid a visit to the Vocational Training Corporation (VTC) center in Marka today where she met with beneficiaries and witnessed new methods adopted by VTC. The Queen checked up on the Center’s latest programs and partnerships, aimed at providing youth with new skill sets that give them the opportunity to explore new careers in unconventional fields.

Light showers overnight meant a cooler morning, a welcome change to the previous evening.  I was grateful; we had a busy day ahead. 

We set off to the Kusum Pahari district, one of Delhi’s most disadvantaged areas, home to some 130,000 people. As we moved through the narrow alleyways, I was greeted with the brightest smiles and most graceful namastes. Between the industriousness of the street barbers, the shopkeepers stacking their shelves and women hanging out washing, there was a real sense of purpose and vibrancy in this little community.
