Govt to revive vocational training — Minister

GOVERNMENT has plans to spend close to $40 million in reviving 42 vocational training centres (VTCs) for youth skills training and entrepreneurship development, a Cabinet minister has said.

VTCs were mainly established on the premise that skills development programmes were an important factor in improving employment creation opportunities.

Speaking at the green microfinance workshop in Harare, Youth, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment minister Francis Nhema said going green in microfinance involved the youth in terms of skills training so that they would be able to empower themselves.
