Notable findings suggest that participants selected for the study were all graduates, indicating that the training was successful in preparing human resources and increased graduates’ income and savings. It also found increased household expenditure which indicates a better lifestyle, a higher number of male participants than female participants that assessed the gender-disaggregated impact of the training, and less likeliness of female participants having a similar occupation due to social obstacles than males. COVID had an impact on every aspect as expected in the year 2020, which gradually went up in the year 2021, nevertheless, the graduates are expecting more training courses in the future. As the graduates from the year 2017 have higher incomes due to more experience in the job market, all graduates are expecting increased income in the next five years. Most graduates want a career in the same sector of training they received, but they are yet to get it due to less scope in the job market, being a student, inadequate support from family, assuming low income, etc. The findings also observe positive impacts for graduates in terms of women’s economic empowerment due to female participation in the training.
