The aim of the programme is to provide the 30 target teen-agers of 15 to 18 years age Vocational Training course i.e., CARPENTRY SKILL for their future opportunities of Self-employment and self-development.  30 target teen-agers divided into 2 batches @ 15 members per each group.  The training classes conducted in the  morning and afternoon sessions.  The required tools and material like tools/machinery/Equipments and other materials  purchased for the use in the training programme.  The target group young teen-agers were learned the  Carpentry Skill.

During evenings, after training phase, we  conducted  Education classes to these 30 target young teen-agers.  A Volunteer from our organization who is trained of Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.,)/Teacher Training course (T.T.C.) and with three years of experience in the same teaching field is voluntarily extended his services in this education classes and taught the education to these target young teen-agers.

After completing the Carpentry Training, the teenagers are now able to do the Carpentry work independently.

Among the 30 teenagers, some can get contract works/job works from the building construction owners and do the wooden works and earn good income. Kadapa District is a developing area with flourishing of population.  As same the construction is increasing so there is good demand for the Carpenters and there is no problem to get job works/contract works for our teenagers.  Now these target group teen agers were become self-sufficient.
