Nepal Vocational Academy, Panauti

Building Skills, Creating Opportunities
Nepal Vocational Academy has been running short-term courses in Wooden Handicraft Making, Carpentry, Masonry, and Stone Layer Masonry, affiliated with CTEVT, for more than four years. The training programmes aim to improve trainees' employability in the labour market and provide opportunities for self-employment, contributing to poverty reduction and economic development.

The Academy focuses on producing a skilled technical workforce capable of providing services through the application of both modern and traditional technologies. Along with practical knowledge and technical skills, the courses also help trainees develop entrepreneurial abilities in wooden handicrafts, masonry, and stone layer masonry.

The demand for skilled workers is particularly high in earthquake-affected areas, where more than six lakh households were completely destroyed. With the government prioritising reconstruction and rebuilding efforts, trained workers are essential for supporting the recovery and development of affected communities. Nepal Vocational Academy addresses this demand by providing relevant vocational training.

In response to public demand, the Academy also offers courses in beautician training, tailoring, and metal casting. These programmes provide additional opportunities for individuals to develop practical skills and pursue employment or self-employment.

The German organisation Schulen für Nepal supports the operation of Nepal Vocational Academy. Similarly, German organisation Nepal and Wir also support the implementation of different vocational courses at the Academy in Panauti.
