The Vocational Training and Professional Development Grant program encompasses a wide range of opportunities that allow beneficiaries to focus on their areas of interest or areas of perceived needs. This grant program executes this through individual grants pairing beneficiaries with organizations or institutions that provide the sought after skills or training. While some grants are given for common focus areas such as English language development or restaurant chef training, others are less common such as traditional Tibetan Thangka painting mentorship and development. These also include areas such as mountain guide training and more traditional educational institute degrees. The goal of these grants focus on practical, applied knowledge in the beneficiaries area of interest.
