The European Union has supported Vocational Training projects for Myanmar refugees since 2011. Our support to this Vocational Training project is aimed to increase vocational skills of refugees through quality vocational training programme in line with Thai and Myanmar standards in order to prepare them for voluntary return.

The vocational training courses offered are specifically geared towards the current needs in the Myanmar labour market, so that once the camp residents return to their home country they can easily find employment and secure their livelihoods.
