Training institutions in North Western Province have been advised to design their courses in line with the booming economic activities in the area.
Solwezi District Commissioner Albert Chifita says training institutions should identify courses that are in demand by the current mining investors.
He said it is folly for training institutions in the province to ignore mine-related study programmes.
Mr. Chifita was speaking in Solwezi when he officiated at Solwezi Skills Training Centre’s second graduation ceremony. A total of 59 students graduated.
He said government was ready to partner and offer guidance to training institutions in order to break the syndrome of offering courses that may not be on demand.
And speaking earlier, Solwezi Skills Training Institute Principal Chiyenge Frank said the institution’s efforts have been hampered by poor infrastructure.
