IT and English Training

Computer and English training are the core activity of iec Nepal.

Blind People Learning Computer at IEC Nepal
Since its launch more than 70 students have been trained in iec Nepal’s training center.

The training focuses on: basic computer skills, English communication and interpersonal skills.

We recently realized that although some of the participants have stayed in Pokhara, others migrated to other cities or returned to their communities. This is a serious challenge preventing some visually impaired in achieving fluency in IT and English. As a result iec Nepal’s improved strategy will include providing the participants with laptops for hire at a nominal cost and heavily discounted and reliable internet in the iec Cyber (cross-financed from the revenue generated on the sighted customers). This will make sure that the visually impaired participants of the training will receive enough training and access to computer, to be independent computer users, even if they choose to leave Pokhara.
