| Vocational Guidance & Training | |
At Inspiration, we assess young adult's (over 18 years) capabilities and interests. On the basis of that, the kind of vocational activity is decided upon. We give suggestions according to the mental and physical capacity of the young adult. Vocation is very important for the child/ young adult as it gainfully occupies him and also gives a sense of achievement, and provides him the necessary training and expertise for self-employment. |
