Many underprivileged youth in India are unable to find a job, or have heavy and underpaid work. Their origins as ‘dalit’ and a lack of education are the main causes. Good education is the key to a better future for them. That is why we set up the Connexion Learning Centre in Bangalore. This vocational school offers vulnerable young people the opportunity for practical training, with the prospect of a job. The school is supported by the ROC Mondriaan in The Hague.
Our Courses
Diploma in Hotel Management
ApplyThe first vocational training offered by the Learning Center in Bangalore is Hotel Management. More and more hotels are emerging in Bangalore, one of the major Indian business cities. In collaboration with ROC Mondriaan, four practical training courses were started for the catering industry, so that students in this sector can work as cook, waiter, receptionist or housekeeping. The curriculum is based on international standards, with a lot of attention for learning-on-the-job and internships.
Diploma in Gereatric Care
ApplyThis year we started a pilot Gereatric Care. Students learn how to be a caretaker, in theory as wel as on the job. In the Indian society more caretakers are needed, since less older parents live with their children and more need support and care at their own home or in elderly care homes. This provides our students opportunities on the labor market.
