🌟 Vocational Training Program –  Cloud Kitchen & Scented Candle Making Units for Children and Adults with Special Needs

Sri Vidhyas Centre has consistently observed that adult learners demonstrate strong competence in domestic, hands‑on, and routine‑based activities. Their ability to acquire and retain skills is high, especially when tasks resemble those performed in their homes. This natural familiarity makes culinary work and craft‑based candle making ideal vocational pathways.

To build on these strengths and create meaningful livelihood opportunities, the Centre has introduced two flagship vocational projects:

• Cloud Kitchen Vocational Unit
• Scented Candle Vocational Unit

Both units operate under the aegis of Sri Vidhya’s Centre as independent vocational entities, supported by the Centre’s established operational and financial framework.

🎯 Target Group

These vocational programs are designed for Mild and Moderate learners who are:

• Independent in Activities of Daily Living
• Able to follow structured routines
• Comfortable working in supervised environments
• Ready for internal or external employment opportunities

🌱 Purpose & Impact

The Cloud Kitchen and Scented Candle Units form a compulsory component of the vocational curriculum because they:

• Build long‑term sustainability into the Child’s future
• Support financial independence for adults with special needs
• Create real pathways for income generation
• Enhance dignity, creativity, and self‑worth
• Promote social acceptance and mainstreaming
• Prepare learners for both mainstream and sheltered employment

Through these initiatives, the marginalized child transitions into a confident, productive, and empowered adult.
