Formal Technical Training (Centre-Based)
OICG runs classroom-based programmes at its training centres for literate youth. The two-year programme combines theory and practical sessions, preparing trainees for the National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) examinations and certification.
Improved Apprenticeship Model (Non-Formal Training)
This model targets illiterate and semi-literate youth, offering flexible training with Master Craft Persons (MCPs) under OICG’s supervision. The programme includes counselling, business development, life skills, and start-up support.
