SKILLS ACQUISITION

Skill acquisition refers to the process of learning and mastering specific abilities, competencies, or techniques that are relevant to a particular field, occupation, or activity.

Vocational training centers can be found in urban and rural areas, typically within or near industrial zones, educational institutions, or community centers.

Technical institutes are often located in urban areas or near industrial hubs, technology parks, or research institutions with access to advanced equipment and facilities.

  1. Craftsmanship Centers: Craftsmanship centers offer training in traditional crafts, artisanal skills, and heritage preservation techniques, such as pottery, weaving, beadwork, leatherworking, basketry, and woodworking.

Craftsmanship centers are typically located in rural areas, cultural heritage sites, or artisanal communities where traditional crafts are practiced and passed down through generations.
