The lives of 83, students from Katete Skills Training Centre in Eastern Province, will not be same, after successfully graduating in various life changing skills.
Thirthy seven (37) females and fourty six (46) males, among them inmates, have today graduated in Home management, Tailoring, Bricklaying and General agriculture.
Speaking when she graced the 4th graduation ceremony at Katete Skills Training Centre, under the theme: “Aquiring survival skills, to promote self employment for self reliance in society”, Director for Community Development, Mrs Patricia Muyamwa, said government is committed to ensuring that skills development is prioritized in order to reduce poverty amongst the
poor and vulnerable households in the country.
She said the graduation signifies government’s efforts towards building a nation of skilled men, women and youths,that will apply the knowledge obtained from the skills training in bettering their lives.
“’I am pleased to state that many people are realising that life can be very difficult without education and training and that is why we see people from all walks of life, both old and young, the employed and school leavers alike, enrolling in various learning institutions in order to enhance their knowledge levels’” Ms Muyamwa noted.
She further said government, desires to see an increase in the number of students being enrolled especially that learners’ fees are very minimal,coupled with an opportunity for them to access bursaries through the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Ms. Muyamwa said the Ministry is also taking advantage of the increased CDF threshold per constituency to increase student enrollment in the skills training centres.
To the graduating students, Ms Muyamwa tipped them to form copporatives and be entrepreneurial by using their acquired skills as opposed to entirely depend on government for jobs.
She said by using their acquired skills, the graduates have the capacity to contribute to national development as well as food security.
And in a vote of thanks,Vynnie Banda, a graduate, appreciated government for giving them an opportunity to be trained in various skills, but appealed for consideration to add more courses such as computer studies, driving, plumbing and power electrical in order to equip students with a variety of life changing opportunities.
