World Vision Malawi (WVM) on Tuesday graduated 478 youths from the Central Region in various vocational and technical skills.
The graduates have received training in automotive mechanics, electrical installation, welding and fabrication, electronics and phone repairing, plumbing, carpentry and joinery, bricklaying and masonry, and tailoring and fashion design.
The Minister of Labour, Agnes Nyalonje, who presided over the ceremony and handed over the TEVETA certificates to the graduates, emphasised the importance of these trainings — saying these initiatives ensures that the youth are provided with practical skills and hands-on training, enhancing employability and promoting self-employment opportunities.
WVM invested K500 million in training this cohort of students.
Since 2022, over 5,000 youths have benefited from this initiative, which aims to address unemployment and foster economic growth in the country.
