At Village Development Centre (VDC), we believe in nurturing the next generation of change makers and community builders. To achieve this, we have embarked on an educational journey, adopting social work students from various colleges as part of their field work exposure. Our mission is to empower these students with hands-on experience and valuable insights into the world of community development.
We are proud to collaborate with renowned educational institutions such as Holy Cross College, SrimadAndavan College, Srimathi Indira Gandhi College, UDC College in Tiruchirappalli, and Chidambaram Pillai Women’s College in Manachanallur. These partnerships enable us to engage with talented students who are eager to make a positive impact on society.
During their time at VDC, students receive comprehensive training that encompasses various aspects of social work and community development. This includes understanding organizational systems, participating in community development programs, engaging in group work, conducting case studies, and gaining hands-on experience in reporting and documentation.
Our field work program provides students with the unique opportunity to work directly with our community members. They gain first-hand experience in addressing real-world challenges, collaborating with local residents, and implementing initiatives that contribute to positive social change.
Through our training, we aim to instil a deep sense of social responsibility and a spirit of service in these future social workers. We encourage them to explore innovative solutions, embrace empathy, and develop a holistic understanding of the communities they serve.
The knowledge and skills gained during their time at VDC not only enrich the academic journey of these students but also prepare them to become effective leaders and advocates for social justice and community well-being.
Our commitment to empowering social work students is a collective effort. By working together with educational institutions, we ensure that the students of today are well-equipped to drive positive change in the communities of tomorrow.
We invite all members of our community to join hands with us in nurturing and supporting these emerging social change agents. Together, we can build a brighter and more inclusive future for all.
VDC's field work training for social work students is a testament to our dedication to empowering the next generation of leaders. We believe that by investing in these students, we are investing in a brighter and more compassionate future for our communities and beyond.
