The LIR program began its vocational training program at the National Institute for Technicians and Instructors in Dar Sa’ad.
60 students from Basateen and the surrounding areas were enrolled in courses for Auto–Electrician, Auto–Mechanics, Electrician, and Air Conditioning/Cooling. These students were selected from over 570 applicants and include Somali new arrivals, Somali–Yemenis, and Yemenis with extremely difficult circumstances. Criteria for selection of the trainees was based on their financial situation, need, and commitment to learning. The LIR team has been monitoring the courses on a daily basis and have observed a steady improvement in the skills and knowledge of the trainees. Following these courses, students will be placed in a workshop apprenticeship where they will continue their training with more hands–on experience and the opportunity to experience the working environment.
