Colleges challenged to offer courses suiting industrial needs

THE Skills Audit and Development ministry has called on universities and colleges to offer skills programmes aimed at addressing industrial needs.

In his presentation at the provincial stakeholder skills audit workshop held in Mutare yesterday, the director for skills analysis Victor Cheure said there was an urgent need to address the skills gap in Zimbabwe.

He said there was also a need to push for an industrialisation drive by revolutionalising skills at various universities and colleges so that they suit industrial needs.
