UCEP, Schneider to train 15,000 youths
Underprivileged Children's Educational Programmes (UCEP) Bangladesh and Schneider Electric Foundation will train over 15,000 underprivileged youths in electrical and solar trades across Bangladesh over the next five years.
The UCEP Bangladesh has recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the France-based development organisation, whereby they will be establishing modern labs for vocational training for underprivileged youths in Bangladesh.
Schneider will help set up 19 labs on those trades in UCEP Bangladesh's 19 technical schools to train unemployed youths in the electrical and renewable energy field and assist them in upgrading their skills level.
The foundation will also develop the capacity of the UCEP Bangladesh trainers to provide vocational training through.
