The Salesians of Don Bosco have long recognized that technical education is a powerful tool for youth empowerment, especially in regions facing economic disparity and social exclusion. Don Bosco Tech, a network of over 330 centers in India alone, provides short-term vocational courses tailored to industry needs. Their involvement in technical education across South Asia—India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal—is driven by the following key motivations:
1. Empowering Marginalized Youth
2. Responding to Unemployment and Skill Gaps
3. Preparing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
4. Holistic Formation and Value Education
5. Mission-Driven Social Transformation

Global Impact Scale: Over 1,000 vocational, technical, and agricultural schools worldwide.
Reach: Operating in 136 countries, with major hubs in India (where they are a pillar of national skill missions), Africa, and Latin America.
Focus: Inclusion of youth (typically ages 15–24) into the labor market through both formal diplomas and short-term non-formal certifications.

Don Bosco Tech Society’s Bosco Integrated Development Society (BIDS) and Mawkasiang centres, supported by the Meghalaya State Skill Development Society (MSSDS), held Certification Day at the BIDS Centre in Shillong on July 29 for hospitality trainees who completed housekeeping training and secured jobs across India.
