In this project, 53 trainees attended in the first day, and 48 trainees in the second day including CSU’s members. In the first day of the training, the program started from 10:00 am to finish at 5:00pm in Chin Believers Church (CBC). Initially,   Mr. Ravi Hemandri who is legal expert of refugee affairs in India constitution had taught under the topic of “Right to Work.” He, Mr. Ravi, based on the article 21 of Indian Constitutional law which says that everyone who is on Indian soil has right to work his / her livelihood and can travel inside the country  or out of India. Nevertheless, due to discrimination upon Burmese refugees in the work places, the refugee’s youths are lagging behind unemployment. Since the Burmese refugees are not having adequate skills to seek jobs in formal sectors such as MNCs and eminent companies majority of them are working in informal sectors like local unregister companies.

Furthermore, the refugees are no holding require documents in order to seek for jobs in formal sectors they have to work in the said local companies which pay only nominal wages. It had depicted that if a Burmese has a necessary skills to work in formal sectors, he has right to apply in formal sectors and acquire better situation while he or she is living in India in terms of surviving. He had also give some ideas how to approach if a refugees face discrimination or improper treatment among employee by employer which against the constitution of India court. Some of participant who has faced such sort of problems before were raising the question why they have sucked from their jobs by unreasonable facts? He answered their questions with some assumption and the participants were somewhat satisfied  with the answer so that they have got some idea how to report to the police and who kind of things should be done not to happened in the future.

Capacity Building Training for Better Employment (Upcoming Project)


22nd August 2011: Burmese refugee youth in Delhi have a difficult time gaining employment, even if they have some job skills already. Many youth depend on remittances from their families settled abroad for their survival. The CSU will organize a free three-day training program for 20 young participants who already have sufficient qualifications (some even university degrees) but lack the skills to apply at Indian companies. The training will be provided by Indian experts who will teach participants how to apply for a job and how to use English in the workplace.
The organization plans to repeat a similar training in future from other sources, based on an evaluation scheduled one week after the training.
The Proposed topics to be discussed:-
(1) Communication Skills
(2) Personality Development
(3) Group Discussion etc.
