LEH/JAMMU: Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Friday launched an employment-linked skill training programme for Ladakhi youth, under which 36 shortlisted candidates from all seven districts of the Union Territory will undergo industry-oriented residential training in New Delhi with assured placement assistance.
The first batch, comprising 34 girls and two boys, was flagged off from Leh to the GMR Varalakshmi Centre for Empowerment and Livelihoods (CEL) in New Delhi, where they will undergo two to three months of training beginning in the first week of July, officials said.
The initiative aims to enhance employability by equipping the youth with market-oriented skills aligned with industry requirements while creating pathways for sustainable livelihoods in organised sectors, they said.
