The BRAC Training Division (BTD) is responsible for capacity building and professional development of BRAC staff and the programme participants through a wide range of training and exposure initiatives. The broad objective of BRAC training is the enhancement of knowledge, skills and attitudes of the programme participants and staff as well as other external development practitioners working inside and outside Bangladesh. A well-known feature of BRAC training is its participatory nature, which is learner centered, problem focused and need oriented. It promotes individual involvement in the training process and group interaction. The training courses are designed and delivered from the perspective of the participants’ needs. The courses are continuously upgraded to meet the changing and emerging needs of the BRAC programmes. At present there are 14 Training and Resource Centers (TARCs), three rented training centers and two Brac Centre for Development Management (BCDMs) that operate year-round training courses, facilitated by experienced trainers.
