VFS Global Foundation has opened its fifth skill training centre in the country in Chandigarh and will offer Certificate Programmes in Tourism Management, Hospitality Management and Retail Management. These courses have been structured by VFS Global Academy, the Foundation’s knowledge partner, to provide students with future-ready training, career guidance and practical skills to help them transition confidently into employment.
The first batch will include 25 students, who have already been enrolled. The goal is to train over 80 students through the foundation this year.
Speaking at the inauguration, Neetu Wadhawan, Deputy CHRO, VFS Global and Director, VFS Global Foundation, said, “Through this centre, we are enabling young people from disadvantaged communities to gain skills that lead to meaningful employment and lasting confidence. By bringing the expertise of VFS Global Academy to this initiative, we hope to create opportunities that can uplift families and strengthen communities. Our ambition is to reach thousands of students across India through the Foundation’s work.”
