Aik Hunar Aik Nagar (AHAN) in collaboration with Fata Development Authority (FDA) has launched the second phase of its Training of Trainers (TOT) project aimed at capacity building of Master trainers of FDA. "The six months long project will provide opportunity to master trainers working at 72 skill centers of FATA to get advanced training in Food Preservation, Marble Mosaic and Candle making," informed Sayed Zahid Ali Shah, Regional Co-ordinator AHAN Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
These master trainers who are in charge of Skill Development Centers in FATA and FR regions will pass on the skill to trainees after completing their training in these three disciplines. Presently, he said, FDA has shared list of trainers who will benefit from the project with AHAN and session is soon going to start in Hayatabad (Peshawar).
Earlier, in the first phase of TOT, skill training was imparted by AHAN to FATA trainers in embroidery skill, Zahid added. Our projects are not aimed only to develop the skills of the trainees but also to help them develop sustainable linkages with business forum and large business houses. It is for this reason that the trainees in the first phase were given exposure visits to various markets of Rawalpindi and Islamabad and to Lok Virsa. The exposure visit further polished their skills of linkage development and provided them an insight on market demand, he continued.
Both AHAN and FDA are jointly striving hard to undertake various development initiatives in FATA and FR regions by taking the people on board. After completion of training sessions, quality marketable products will be collected for display at exhibition to be arranged at the end of the project.
