The Technical Training Centre, which is situated in Old Dhaka City and was established in 2001, is also a youth and learning centre for the local youth. The centre successfully gives local students the opportunity to learn computer literacy, since it was declared as compulsory for all school children by the Government of Bangladesh but cannot be provided by most of the schools. This Training Centre is also affiliated to the Bangladesh Technical Education Board and successful students obtain attendance certificates. The Centre also has a community library and provides 194 students with practical training on computer operating, tailoring, electric house wiring and welding trade courses. Since its inception, 4,055 young people have been trained in various trades.
