VOC Port recently hosted the valedictory function for the latest round of its skill development programs, an initiative funded through the Port's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities and conducted by the Centre of Excellence in Maritime and Shipbuilding (CEMS).

The programs have delivered exceptional outcomes, particularly in the technical trades. In a significant achievement demonstrating strong industry acceptance, the Welder and CNC Operator batches reached 100% placement success, with all 14 trainees securing jobs in major MNCs. This initiative is a powerful step towards economic upliftment and long-term community development.

Susanta Kumar Purohit, Chairperson, VOC Port distributed certificates to the successful EXIM & Warehouse, Welder, and CNC trainees, alongside Rajesh Soundararajan, Deputy Chairperson, VOC Port, and senior officials.

VOC Port organizes these programs to boost local youth employment prospects. The curriculum includes seven specialized vocational courses, such as Domestic Data Entry Operator, Warehouse Executive, and Courier Associate Operations.

During the ceremony, Purohit urged students to seize their new careers and highlighted the importance of equal opportunities for women. Soundararajan shared guidance, motivating trainees to actively explore new opportunities and embrace lifelong learning.
