New Courses at Serve Samman

 


Vocational Training is one of the main forte of Serve Samman, wherein we encourage individuals to join free courses and build a career for themselves. Although the vocational centers are running beautifully, we noticed that a lot of people find it tough to spare 3- months or lack basic knowledge needed for computers, hence we are very proud to announce that, after a series of rapid meetings and surveys we at Seve Samman are in the process of introducing the following new short term courses in our curriculum.

  • Mobile Repair
  • Electrical Repair
  • Home Appliance Repair
  • Cycle Repair
  • Scooter repair
  • Tyre Puncture Etc. 

These courses are open for anyone and everyone and have no admission criteria such as age, gender, village etc.

Saint Gobain visit, Chennai


Given our long standing partnership with Saint Gobain, it was indeed a pleasure to welcome Mr. John Prem, social responsible investment coordinator of the company who visited 5 schools in a span of 2 days starting 22nd of January.


His curiosity for the functioning of the program and its impact led him to take time out of his busy schedule. He also glanced through the notebooks and other teaching materials used by the staff and discussed the challenges faced by the students.
