Dhaka Ahsania Mission (DAM), a national NGO, has undertaken a skill development project for garment workers, slum-dwellers and other underprivileged people, reports UNB.

A total of 1,320 people have already been given training under this project. Of them, 1,303 were employed in various garment factories.

Speakers disclosed this at the certificate awarding ceremony among the graduates of the Vocational Training Institute of DAM at the Bangladesh Krishi Bank Training Institute auditorium in the city Saturday.

DAM Vocational Training Institute and German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) jointly organised the course completion and certificate-awarding ceremony of skill development trained graduates of Vocational Training Institute for Working Children (VTIWC).

Speakers said if the trend continued, poor and unskilled workers will be able to change their standard of living through working in standard garment industries.
