LIST OF COURSE OFFERED AT THE CENTRE

CHUNYA MORAVIAN VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE

The Chunya Moravian VTC was founded in 2014 and currently provides education to more than 30 students. The centre is registered under VETA with the Preliminary registration Category C We offer a course in Sewing and Cloth designing, Knitting, Domestic Electrical Installation and Computer Application which takes two years from start to finish. For students who are interested to stay directly on the school compound, we provide accommodation in our dormitory, which offers space for 36 students.

A special advantage of studying at our school is that all of our students receive their own sewing machines and other important tools at the graduation ceremony especially orphans who receive support from the donor called Rev. Dr. Jochen Tolk. This allows them to start their own business and become economically independent, once they have finished their course! Some impressions from the graduation ceremony of 2018:
