The final term of the PHMF-Vocational Training Centre in 2016 ended with the distribution of 190 certificates for the graduated students, from an initial cohort of over 200 registered participants. The certificate is an important symbol for the students who have completed the course. YUM also provide them the Job Seeking Skills certificate for participating in the job skills workshop.

With 7 tutors, the term started by having 6 classes for Computer skills, 4 classes for English and 3 classes for Sewing. YUM also held the classes in the weekend, as most of the students are in the last year of school and their school’s activities are very hectic during weekdays.  The Foundation is aware that YUM have a staff of dedicated and passionate tutors that are willing to teach on the weekend.

The highest number of students are in the Computer class. The awareness of the need to have updated knowledge in information technology remains high among people in Cipanas, especially for the youth.  YUM VTC is working hard to constantly improve the skills of our dedicated computer trainers and update the course material in line with program updates in order to give the best opportunity for  Cipanas residents to participate in the digital economy.
