The De-suung Skilling Program (DSP) is a very important Royal Project initiated by His Majesty The King of Bhutan in 2021. As envisioned by His Majesty, DSP imparts a series of short-term high quality trainings in various fields ranging from arts and cratfs and culinary arts to emerging technologies to Bhutanese youths entering the job market. These youths have all undergone the De-suung training, which is a valued-based personal development program intended to encourage active citizenry in the process of nation-building.
The DSP trainings are mostly provided by international experts and trainers. In a few cases, public agencies and private institutes in Bhutan as well as local experts also impart the trainings either on their own or as assistants to international experts. Depending on the courses, some skilling programs are conducted in existing training institutes while others are conducted in available infrastructure or establishments, which are equipped with necessary facilities needed for the courses.
