Government says it will continue to provide guidance and support to training institutions in order for them to operate effectively and render quality service to the community.
Minster of Science Technology and vocational Training Brig General Brain Chituwo said his Ministry will ensure success in training the youth is attained to positively contribute to the labour demands of the nation.
Brig Gen Chituwo said this in a speech ready for him by Copperbelt University Vice Chancellor professor Mutale Musonda at the 6th Graduation of 197 students at Kitwe Vocational Training Centre Management Board (KVTCMB) in Kitwe yesterday.
He said the institution initiative for working towards self-sustainability by running a profitable production unit in order to strengthen their revenue base was commendable.
Dr Chituwo urged other higher learning institutions to emulate KVTCMB’s initiative to help students to become self reliant.
He added that his Ministry shall endeavor to continually lobby for capital funding to address the challenges faced by the institutions.
And principal of the institution William Mutale said the institution is faced with a lot of challenges one of them being lack of adequate boarding facilities for students.
Mr. Mutale said despite the difficulties the centre continues to demonstrate to the Zambian people that technical colleges are important in the development of the nation.
He added that institutional bursaries are provided for vulnerable children as a way of empowering them with necessary skills to be self reliant.
Meanwhile KVTCMB acting Board chairperson Joackin Mumba said the management is proud that the centre has not experienced any class boycotts by students or strike buy staff which shows how disciplined the institution.
