We create potential horticultural career prospects for PWDs in nurseries, landscaping, floriculture, tissue culture, and more. In addition, we also provide:
A 4-month course on plants and seeds, watering, potting, composting, and other specialised skills.
A 4-month course on money management, customer interaction, computers, gardening, and organic products.
A specialised course on sustainable agriculture methods that also promote family and community growth.
Reach out to our horticulture training centres in Bangalore at Jeevan Bima Nagar and Kyalasanahalli to build your horticultural skills and find employment opportunities.
Our team identifies candidates through a recruitment unit and provides job-appropriate training to place them in the public or private sector. The program is developed along with training partners and is specifically tailored to the requirements of chosen companies.
In order to foster inclusive workplaces, the training period includes capacity development for potential employers to use a rights-based approach to recruiting, induction, and mentorship.
8-weeks of on-the-job training (OJT) and practical sessions to enhance the candidates’ communication, computer, customer service, and life skills.
