ATDC’s Vocational Training Programs are meant for underprivileged youth and women of society and are based on the concept “Imparting Skills –Improving Lives”. ATDC’s short term (300 hrs.) training programs are meant for shop floor employment as factory workforce (Tailors / Sewing Machine Operator / Checker/Helper etc.) and long term courses (4 to 12 months) are for 8th/10th/12th pass youths for more different tiers of manufacturing line, Inline Supervisor, Asst.

Each person trained would help a family of 3-5 members to improve “Quality of Life”, which has a cascading impact on quality of lives of the underprivileged sections of the society.
ATDC provides training in ‘simulated’ factory state-of-art environment through industrial sewing machines of world class technology from world’s best technology provider. We have over 6000 such machines and training is provided by technically qualified, experienced and trained faculty members (over 600) Pan-India.
The training is totally different from domestic sewing machines as here the emphasis is on assembly line production, productivity, efficiency etc. The backend of ATDC is over 8800 member exporters of Apparel Export Promotion Council who constantly seek trained workforce and professionals for their ongoing operations, attrition replacement and for new capacities created.
