DOMESTEQ began training domestic workers back in 2008.  DOMESTEQ’s two training centres (in Gurgaon and Delhi) provide soft-skills and practical training for domestic workers, office cleaners, peons and personal and official drivers. Our training curricula have been conceived and created in-house with the expertise of former domestic workers and in consultation with education professionals.  Aimed at the illiterate worker and based on a multiple intelligence model, there are courses are designed for the first time market entrant as well as for a worker with experience hoping to increase their skills and, by doing so, their employability.  Using illustrations, role- play and relevant visuals easily recognisable to the workers, we emphasise the importance of understanding why a task should be executed in a particular way as well as illustrate how it should be done. 

Courses are taught in Hindi with a combination of role-playing and demonstration and students are encouraged to participate actively throughout the course.  Literacy is not assumed and class sizes are kept small with a high teacher/student ratio.  All DOMESTEQ courses emphasise the importance of the role each worker plays in the home or the organisation and interwoven in each and every training session is guidance on doing their jobs with pride and dignity.  Our trainers model good discipline and throughout each session focus not only on skills but also on the development and maintenance of a strong work ethic.  

Domesteq also offers private in-home or in-office training and we are happy to design a course that will fit you or your communities’ specifics needs.  Please email us for further information.
