Skills Training Successfully Completed

Participants of the professional skills training had to wait a while until they could conclude their courses. The Covid-19 measures caused a long summer break. They finally graduated at the beginning of October.

When the lockdown was imposed in spring to control Covid-19, the professional skills training centres in Hyderabad also had to close their doors. As a result, the motivated young men and women could no longer complete their training and had to wait until the courses were allowed to take place again. Again and again, the partner organisation on site hoped that the courses could be continued.

The green light was finally given in September. Operations were allowed to resume under strict protective measures. After the reopening, the young men and women who had started the courses in spring could finally continue their training. They were able to successfully complete the last weeks of the courses and finally graduated on 2nd of October.

At the beginning of this week, the next group of young people started the courses. Usthi congratulates the graduates and wishes the new course participants a successful training.
