Ankur Vocational Centre

Helping young adults

The Ashish Foundation is committed to equipping young adults with disabilities to be fellow contributors to society. Our Ankur programme provides vocational training for young adults above the age of 18. The main emphasis of the vocational training is to assist and facilitate the young adult be a valued member of society through many varied, multi faceted valuable roles like that of an adult son, a neighbour, a friend, an employee etc. Support is provided to each student depending on the requirements of each individual.

We do not wait for readiness but rather provide them natural and normative ways
of stepping into society and being a member of the community.

In addition to having an employable future, we want adults with disabilities to experience a fulfilling life. Ankur’s holistic curriculum also emphasises the development of valued social roles in the community, including hobbies and interests that can be shared with others who do not have disabilities. Of particular importance are skills related to forming relationships and growing friendships.. As much as possible, we help our students develop these skills in authentic and meaningful situations.

Partner with us! Several of our programme graduates are gainfully employed, which is a valued social role. We want to see more people step into the workforce! We are keen on partnering with businesses who wish to employ individuals with autism and other disabilities.

Vatsal has learnt a lot of things at the Ashish Centre. And we hope that he will keep on improving. At Ashish Centre, all the staff are very good. They take care of the children as well as their parents. We feel tension free after sending our child here.
