Purpose of the assignment

The pandemic COVID -19 has created a profound impact on skill development. Physical proximity has
redefined in the COVID -19, and skill development institutes are affected by the youths who were
waiting to gain skills this year for their dream occupations.

The training and capacity building industry has adapted quickly to current changes. IT industry has
come up with real solutions through which imparting training remotely has become smooth. But
still, there is too much work required to improve the skills and capacities of facilitators and trainers
to equip themselves with the changing environment and deliver their best through the various
online mechanism.

online class facilitation is different from physical classroom facilitation. So, we are planing to
organize the practical oriented workshop for our facilitator on online facilitation.
