In a significant stride towards fostering livelihood opportunities and empowering the youth of Manipur, a felicitation ceremony was organized to honor participants of a skill development program. The initiative, conducted under the aegis of the Assam Rifles, was designed to equip young individuals with employable skills and facilitate sustainable employment in the hospitality and service industry.
A total of 58 trainees enrolled in the three-month programme, which combined structured classroom instruction with hands-on practical exposure. The training focused on professional competencies in housekeeping, food and beverage services, and front office operations, while also emphasizing soft skills, personality development, interview techniques, and personal grooming. This holistic approach enabled participants to gain real-world confidence and prepare themselves for diverse roles in the service sector, said a press release of IGAR(S).
The felicitation ceremony marked a proud moment as 43 participants have already secured placements in various establishments, reflecting the success of the initiative in bridging the gap between skill development and employment. Certificates were distributed to the successful candidates in recognition of their dedication and achievements.
Officials and troops of Assam Rifles graced the occasion and highlighted the importance of skill development in fostering economic independence. They encouraged the trainees to continue striving for excellence in their professional journeys, it added.
