WHO WE ARE F-SKILL Pvt. Ltd.

We are

Leading service provider in the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector of Nepal. More than 55,000 persons from disadvantaged groups have been provided vocational training.

Established in 2006, F-SKILL Pvt. Ltd. is a leading service provider in the technical and vocational education training (TVET) sector in Nepal. It delivers vocational training services for donor agencies, INGOs, the private sector, and Nepal government agencies. To date, it has trained more than 55,000 individuals across Nepal.

The F-SKILL project was initiated by HELVETAS and SDC in 2002 to scale up and replicate the successful short-term, mobile training models with employment linkage demonstrated by the SKILL Nepal Project.

The mobile training model under the F-SKILL project was replicated throughout Nepal through a franchising concept, wherein private training providers were mobilized to deliver training as franchises of F-SKILL. While the franchising model continues to be operational, F-SKILL has started directly implementing training services across all locations in Nepal. Notable projects include EVENT/World Bank, EF-SR/HELVETAS, and SABAL/Save the Children.

F-SKILL maintains a network of training for donor agencies, NGOs, and Nepal government agencies. Key partnerships include Employment Fund (EF) and Safer Migration Project (SaMi) with HELVETAS Swiss Cooperation Nepal, World Vision, PACT, Education for Income Generation Project (EIG) with USAID, and training for VMLRs (former combatants) with UNIRP.
