Overall, the institution consists of 6 workshops across 10 training areas. During the past period, nearly 60 beneficiaries from three vulnerable categories have participated in various creative training programs. Currently, 46 beneficiaries from vulnerable groups are continuing to develop their skills in different areas at the branch.

Various projects aimed at strengthening the social protection of beneficiaries, as well as events (masterclasses, info tours, concert programs, etc.) held in cooperation with state and non-governmental organizations, are also implemented at the “DOST House”.
