YouthNet, a prominent organisation dedicated to empowering Nagaland’s youth, has partnered with Asian Paints Colour Academy to launch a transformative six-day training programme.
The initiative, which commenced on Monday at the YouthNet Office in Chümoukedima, Dimapur, aims to equip participants with essential painting skills, paving the way for a brighter future in the construction industry.
Since its inception in 2018, the basic painter training programme, born from the collaboration between YouthNet and Asian Paints Limited, has been instrumental in shaping the lives of Nagaland’s youth.
This year, the programme has set an ambitious goal of training 120 individuals from across the state, with training centres established in Kohima and Chümoukedima-Dimapur.
Participants will embark on a comprehensive learning journey, delving into various facets of painting, including construction painting techniques, surface preparation, and safety precautions.
