Development & Innovation

The Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) Department at Kandara Technical and Vocational College is committed to growing a culture of creativity, problem-solving and continuous learning. In recent years, we have supported projects by trainees and staff, held training workshops, and worked with partners to explore new ideas that benefit both the college and wider community.

Moving forward, we aim to create more space for research, encourage innovations across all departments, and strengthen collaborations with industry and other institutions. Our goal is to make Kandara Technical and Vocational College a hub where ideas are tested, improved and shared to solve real-world challenges. We welcome all trainees, staff and partners to be part of this exciting journey of discovery and growth.

At Kandara TVC, we believe in learning by doing. Our productivity activities are designed to reinforce classroom knowledge with practical skills that foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and job readiness. We continue to explore more avenues that empower our trainees to create, build, and lead in their respective industries.

Our Fashion and Design trainees specialize in embroidery and textile branding. From school crests and logos to custom designs, the department delivers quality embroidery services to both internal and external clients. This provides students with real market experience while promoting the college’s capacity to meet industry standards in creative arts and fashion.
