Vocational Training Teams

Vocational Training Teams (VTTs) are groups of professionals who travel, either to learn more about their vocation or to teach local professionals about a particular field.


As a first step, clubs and districts are encouraged to examine the needs and strengths of the communities involved. VTTs are most effective when they address local needs (problems or community deficits that can be alleviated by training) and take advantage of available strengths, which can include knowledge, skills, and resources.


Next, clubs and districts should work together to create a project plan and apply for funding. VTTs have a humanitarian purpose and to be eligible for global grant funding, they must meet the following criteria:


  • The grant activities must be aligned with one or more Area of Focus. The activities may be multi-vocational but must share a common purpose in support of the selected area of focus.
  • The activities must increase the skills of either the team members or residents of a specific community.
  • The activities must be measurable.
  • The minimum project budget amount is $30,000.
  • The activity must be sponsored by two Rotary clubs or districts: a host partner in the country where the activity takes place and an international partner outside that country.
  • The team will consist of at least one Rotarian team leader (non-Rotarians will be considered with good reason) with general Rotary knowledge, leadership skills, international experience, and experience in the area of focus, and at least two participants with two years of work experience in the area of focus.
  • There are no restrictions on participant age or duration of training. This includes the ability to stagger the team’s travel. More than one team may travel under a single grant, and team members’ travel may be staggered, if needed
