Testimonials
Here are a couple of testimonials from the students themselves:
Hello,
My name is Dnyaneshwar Sable. I was first a student at Vocational Training and Rehabilitation Center, Nashik. I was immensely benefitted by the Computer Training and Communication Skills Training programs organized by Vision-Aid. Communication Skills Training helped me in boosting confidence and communicating with ease. This helped me during my interview at SBI. I was selected by SBI for the position of Clerk in August 2023.
Thank you Vision-Aid for organizing career-oriented training programs that help the overall development of the students as well as help them in getting jobs.

Hello,
I am Prakash Ithape. I studied at VTRC Nashik in the year 2022-23. Apart from regular typing classes, we received training in Computers and Conversational English skills. Both these classes turned to be very useful. Not only these classes helped in improving my communication skills but it also helped improving my confidence. Computer training is being helpful in my job as a clerk in Indian Railways. I was selected with Indian Railways in September 2023.
I want to thank Vision-Aid for organizing the training for us.
