NITA, TVETS COLLABORATE TO IMPROVE TRAINING

The National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) is working with Technical Vocational Education Training Institutions (TVETs) to ensure they improve on course being offered and ensure the youth in the country are offered relevant skills that will address the gaps in the job market.

NITA has disclosed that its collaboration with TVETs seeks to provide young people with competitive skills for self-employment or jobs in the informal sector and to make vocational training appealing to the youth while addressing unemployment as well as the shortage of technical skills in domestic and commercial sectors.

Chairperson to NITA  Aden Noor Ali noted that though the world was struggling with youth unemployment, it was experiencing a skills shortage.

Mr Ali affirmed that skills development was crucial for the country to prosper in the rapidly changing world.
